Strong's Lexicon calah: Roast, bake Original Word: סָלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "calah," the concept of roasting or baking can be related to Greek terms like "ψήνω" (psēnō), which means to cook or bake. Usage: The Hebrew verb "calah" primarily means to roast or bake, often referring to the preparation of food, particularly meat. It is used in contexts where food is cooked over a fire or in an oven, indicating a method of cooking that involves dry heat. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, roasting was a common method of preparing food, especially during sacrificial rituals and feasts. The act of roasting meat was significant in the preparation of offerings, such as the Passover lamb, which was to be roasted whole. This method of cooking was not only practical but also held ceremonial importance, symbolizing purity and dedication to God. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
