Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for חָבֵת in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as this specific term pertains to Hebrew sacrificial practices. However, related concepts of offerings and bread can be found in Greek terms such as ἄρτος (artos, G740) for bread and προσφορά (prosphora, G4376) for offering.

Usage: The word חָבֵת is used in the context of offerings and sacrificial rituals, particularly in the preparation of certain types of bread that were part of the offerings made to God.

Context: Contextual Background: In the ancient Israelite sacrificial system, various types of bread were used as offerings. These included unleavened cakes and wafers, which were often prepared in specific ways as prescribed by the Law of Moses. The חָבֵת, or griddle-cake, was one such preparation.
Biblical References: The term appears in Leviticus 2:5, where it describes the preparation of a grain offering: "If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle, it must be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil." (BSB)
Cultural Significance: The preparation of griddle-cakes as offerings highlights the importance of ritual purity and obedience in worship. The use of fine flour and oil signifies the offering of the best and purest produce to God, reflecting the worshiper's devotion and reverence.
Theological Implications: The griddle-cake, as part of the grain offering, symbolizes the sustenance provided by God and the worshiper's acknowledgment of God's provision. It also represents the dedication of one's labor and resources to the service of God.
