Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry related to the concept of readiness or preparation, particularly in a metaphorical sense, is Strong's Greek Number G3936 (παρίστημι, paristēmi), which means to present, to stand by, or to be ready. While not a direct translation of בָּשַׁל (bashal), it shares the thematic element of preparation and readiness, as seen in passages like Romans 12:1, "Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." Here, the idea of presenting oneself as ready and prepared for service aligns with the broader concept of readiness found in בָּשַׁל (bashal).

Usage: The verb בָּשַׁל (bashal) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of cooking or boiling food, as well as the natural ripening of fruits or grains. It conveys the idea of bringing something to completion or readiness, whether through heat or maturation.

Context: The Hebrew verb בָּשַׁל (bashal) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, illustrating both culinary and agricultural processes. In the context of cooking, it is used to describe the preparation of food by boiling or cooking, as seen in passages like Genesis 25:29, where Esau sells his birthright for a pot of stew that Jacob has cooked. The term also extends to the ripening of fruits or grains, indicating the natural process of reaching maturity, as in Joel 3:13, "Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe." This dual usage underscores the broader theme of transformation and readiness, whether through human intervention or natural progression.

In the sacrificial system, בָּשַׁל (bashal) is used to describe the cooking of offerings, as in 2 Chronicles 35:13, "They roasted the Passover lambs with fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, kettles, and pans." This highlights the importance of proper preparation in worship practices.

The term also appears metaphorically, as in Ezekiel 24:5, where the boiling pot symbolizes the impending judgment on Jerusalem, "Take the choicest of the flock and pile wood beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it." Here, the imagery of boiling serves as a vivid representation of divine judgment and purification.
