krak´nel : Occurs in 1 Kings 14:3 , where Jeroboam bids his wife go to Abijah to inquire concerning their son: "And take with thee ten loaves and cracknels" (King James Version margins "cakes," the English Revised Version "cracknels," the American Standard Revised Version "cakes"). The Hebrew word is נקּדּים , niḳḳuddı̄m , from nāḳadh , "to prick" or "mark"; most probably cakes with holes pricked in them like our biscuits.
