Lexicons

The duty of preparing bread was usually, in ancient times, committed to the females or the slaves of the family (Genesis 18:6; Leviticus 26:26; 1 Samuel 8:13 ); but at a later period we find a class of public bakers mentioned (Hosea 7:4,6; Jeremiah 37:21 ).

The bread was generally in the form of long or round cakes (Exodus 29:23; 1 Samuel 2:36 ), of a thinness that rendered them easily broken (Isaiah 58:7; Matthew 14:19; 26:26; Acts 20:11 ). Common ovens were generally used; at other times a jar was half-filled with hot pebbles, and the dough was spread over them. Hence we read of "cakes baken on the coals" (1 Kings 19:6 ), and "baken in the oven" (Leviticus 2:4 ). (See BREAD .)
