Strong's Lexicon aphah: To bake Original Word: אָפָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: aphah Pronunciation: ah-fah' Phonetic Spelling: (aw-faw') Definition: to cook, to bake Meaning: To cook, to bake Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4160 (ποιέω, poieō), which broadly means "to make" or "to do." While not a direct translation of the specific act of baking, ποιέω encompasses a wide range of activities, including the preparation of food. In the New Testament, this term is used in various contexts, such as in the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11), where the provision and preparation of food are implied. Usage: The verb אָפָה (ʾāphâ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of baking or cooking, particularly in the context of preparing bread or cakes. It is a common activity in domestic settings and is often associated with the preparation of offerings or meals. Context: The Hebrew verb אָפָה (ʾāphâ) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily related to the preparation of food. This term is used to describe the act of baking bread, a staple in ancient Near Eastern diets. The process of baking was typically carried out by women in the household, as seen in Genesis 18:6, where Sarah is instructed to bake bread for the visiting angels. The verb also appears in Leviticus 26:26, where it is used in the context of scarcity and rationing of bread during times of judgment: "When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven and dole out the bread by weight, so you will eat but not be satisfied." In 1 Samuel 8:13, the term is used to describe the duties of daughters who would be taken by the king to serve as bakers: "He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers." This highlights the societal role of baking as a domestic and sometimes servile task. The act of baking is also mentioned in the context of religious offerings, as in Leviticus 2:4, where baked goods are part of the grain offerings presented to the Lord: "Now if you bring a grain offering of baked goods from the oven, it must consist of fine flour, unleavened loaves mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil." The verb אָפָה (ʾāphâ) thus encapsulates both the mundane and the sacred aspects of daily life in ancient Israel, reflecting the importance of bread as both sustenance and a component of worship.
