Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּצַק (bāṣaq), meaning "to swell up" or "to blister."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2219: ζύμη (zymē) • This Greek term refers to leaven or yeast, which causes dough to rise, similar to the concept of swelling or blistering in the Hebrew בָּצֵק (bāṣēq). It is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe influence, often of a corrupting nature, as seen in passages like Matthew 13:33 and 1 Corinthians 5:6. Usage: This word is used in the context of describing dough that has been leavened, indicating a state of swelling or rising due to fermentation. Context: בָּצֵק (bāṣēq) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to the preparation of bread, particularly in the narrative of the Exodus. In Exodus 12:34, the Israelites took their unleavened dough, which had not yet had time to swell or rise, as they departed from Egypt in haste. This term highlights the urgency and immediacy of their departure, as there was no time for the dough to undergo the usual process of leavening. The concept of unleavened bread (matzah) becomes a significant symbol in Jewish tradition, representing purity and the haste of the Exodus. The swelling or blistering of dough is a natural process that occurs when yeast ferments the sugars present, causing the dough to rise. In the biblical context, the absence of this process is symbolic of the Israelites' readiness to follow God's command without delay.
