Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4160 (ποιέω, poieō), which broadly means "to make" or "to do." While not a direct translation of the specific act of baking, ποιέω encompasses a wide range of activities, including the preparation of food. In the New Testament, this term is used in various contexts, such as in the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11), where the provision and preparation of food are implied. Usage: The verb אָפָה (ʾāphâ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of baking or cooking, particularly in the context of preparing bread or cakes. It is a common activity in domestic settings and is often associated with the preparation of offerings or meals. Context: The Hebrew verb אָפָה (ʾāphâ) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily related to the preparation of food. This term is used to describe the act of baking bread, a staple in ancient Near Eastern diets. The process of baking was typically carried out by women in the household, as seen in Genesis 18:6, where Sarah is instructed to bake bread for the visiting angels. The verb also appears in Leviticus 26:26, where it is used in the context of scarcity and rationing of bread during times of judgment: "When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven and dole out the bread by weight, so you will eat but not be satisfied."
