Strong's Lexicon batseq: Dough Original Word: בָּצֵק Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּצַק (batsaq), meaning "to swell" or "to bubble up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "dough" in the New Testament is ζύμη (zume), Strong's Greek #2219, which refers to leaven or yeast, often used metaphorically to describe influence or permeation. Usage: The Hebrew word "batseq" refers to dough, particularly in its unbaked form. It is used in the context of bread-making, where the dough is a mixture of flour and water, often leavened with yeast to cause it to rise. In the biblical context, "batseq" is associated with the preparation of bread, a staple food in ancient Israelite culture. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bread was a fundamental part of the diet, and the process of making bread was a daily task for many households. The dough, or "batseq," was typically made from wheat or barley flour. Leavened bread was common, but during certain religious observances, such as the Feast of Unleavened Bread, only unleavened bread was consumed. This feast commemorates the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, during which they did not have time to let their dough rise.
