Usage: The Hebrew verb "qalah" primarily means to roast or parch, often referring to the preparation of grains or meat by exposing them to heat. This term is used in contexts where food is prepared by roasting, a common method in ancient culinary practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, roasting was a prevalent method of food preparation, especially for grains and meats. Roasting was not only a practical means of cooking but also held ceremonial significance, as seen in the preparation of offerings and meals during religious festivals. The process of roasting was essential for making grains edible and was a common practice during the harvest season. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as qahal, q.v.
