It is used in the context of bread-making, where the dough is a mixture of flour and water, often leavened with yeast to cause it to rise. In the biblical context, "batseq" is associated with the preparation of bread, a staple food in ancient Israelite culture.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, bread was a fundamental part of the diet, and the process of making bread was a daily task for many households. The dough, or "batseq," was typically made from wheat or barley flour. Leavened bread was common, but during certain religious observances, such as the Feast of Unleavened Bread, only unleavened bread was consumed. This feast commemorates the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, during which they did not have time to let their dough rise.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>dough (for cooking)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dough (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בָּצֵק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>dough</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">בָּצֵק</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/12-39.htm">Exodus 12:39</a> 4t.;
