Strong's Lexicon
raqiq: Thin cake, wafer

Original Word: רָקִיק
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: raqiq
Pronunciation: rah-KEEK
Phonetic Spelling: (raw-keek')
Definition: Thin cake, wafer
Meaning: a thin cake

Word Origin: From the root רָקַק (raqaq), meaning "to spit" or "to make thin."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "raqiq," the concept of unleavened bread is captured in the Greek word ἄζυμος (azumos), Strong's Greek #106, used in the New Testament to refer to unleavened bread, particularly in the context of the Passover.

Usage: The term "raqiq" refers to a thin cake or wafer, often unleavened, used in various offerings and religious rituals in the Old Testament. It is typically associated with the grain offerings presented to God, symbolizing purity and dedication.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, bread was a staple food, and its preparation and use in religious ceremonies held significant meaning. The unleavened nature of the "raqiq" reflects the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, as they did not have time to let their bread rise. These thin cakes were part of the sacrificial system, representing the people's devotion and obedience to God's commandments. The use of unleavened bread in offerings underscored the importance of purity and separation from sin.
