Strong's Lexicon bashal: To boil, to cook, to ripen Original Word: בָּשַׁל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2005 (epiteleo) - To complete, to accomplish - G4448 (puroo) - To burn, to set on fire Usage: The Hebrew verb "bashal" primarily means to boil or cook, referring to the process of preparing food by heat. It can also mean to ripen, as in the maturation of fruit. This term is used in various contexts, including culinary practices and metaphorically to describe the ripening or maturing of events or situations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cooking was a daily activity, essential for sustenance and hospitality. The process of boiling or cooking was often done over an open fire or in clay ovens. The concept of ripening was significant in an agrarian society, where the maturation of crops and fruits was crucial for survival and prosperity. The act of cooking and the ripening of produce were both seen as processes that required time and care, reflecting the natural order established by God.
