Usage: The Hebrew verb "עוּג" (ug) primarily means to bake or to prepare food, often in the form of round cakes or loaves. It can also imply the action of encircling or forming something into a round shape. This term is used in contexts related to food preparation, particularly in the making of bread or cakes, which were staple foods in ancient Israelite culture. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bread was a fundamental part of the diet, and the process of baking was a daily activity. Bread was often baked in round shapes, either on hot stones or in clay ovens. The act of baking was not only a domestic task but also held religious significance, as bread was used in various offerings and feasts. The preparation of bread was a communal activity, often involving the entire household.
