Word Origin: Derived from the root צָפַח (tsaphach), meaning "to spread out" or "to flatten."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsappichith," the concept of unleavened bread or cakes can be related to the Greek word ἄζυμος (azumos), Strong's Greek #106, which refers to unleavened bread.

Usage: The term "tsappichith" refers to a type of cake or wafer, often described as thin and flat. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe a specific kind of unleavened bread or cake that was part of the diet in ancient Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bread was a staple food, and various forms of bread, including cakes and wafers, were common. These were often made from wheat or barley and could be baked on a griddle or in an oven. The unleavened nature of these cakes made them suitable for quick preparation and consumption, especially during times of travel or in observance of religious practices such as Passover.
