Strong's Lexicon aphah: To bake Original Word: אָפָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew verb "aphah," the concept of baking is present in the New Testament, such as in the Greek word "ζυμόω" (zymoō), which refers to leavening or fermenting, often used metaphorically. Usage: The Hebrew verb "aphah" primarily means "to bake." It is used in the context of preparing food, particularly bread or cakes, by cooking them in an oven or on hot stones. This term is often associated with domestic activities and the provision of daily sustenance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, baking was a fundamental part of daily life. Bread was a staple food, and the process of baking was typically carried out by women in the household. The act of baking was not only a domestic duty but also held religious significance, as bread was used in various offerings and feasts. The preparation of unleavened bread, for instance, was a critical component of the Passover celebration.
