However, the concept of cakes or offerings can be related to Greek terms for bread or food used in celebrations.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "ashish" refers to a type of cake, often made with raisins. In the context of the Old Testament, these cakes were typically used in celebrations and offerings. They were considered a delicacy and were associated with joy and festivity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, food played a significant role in religious and social gatherings. Raisin cakes, or "ashishim," were not only a treat but also held symbolic meaning. They were often used in offerings to God and in celebrations, such as weddings or religious festivals. The use of raisins, which were dried grapes, indicates the preservation and sweetness valued in these cakes.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/809.htm">ashishah</a>.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>foundation <p>From the same as <a href="/hebrew/784.htm">'esh</a> (in the sense of pressing down firmly; compare <a href="/hebrew/803.htm">'ashuwyah</a>); a (ruined) foundation -- foundation. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/784.htm">'esh</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/803.htm">'ashuwyah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לַאֲשִׁישֵׁ֧י לאשישי la’ăšîšê la·’ă·šî·šê laashiShei<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/16-7.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 16:7</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/16.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">כֻּלֹּ֣ה יְיֵלִ֑יל <b> לַאֲשִׁישֵׁ֧י </b> קִיר־ חֲרֶ֛שֶׂת</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/16.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> every one shall howl: <span class="itali">for the foundations</span> of Kirhareseth<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/16-7.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> everyone will wail <span class="itali">the foundations</span> of Kir-hareseth will moan<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_808.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_808.htm">Strong's Hebrew 808<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/laashishei_808.htm">la·’ă·šî·šê — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/807.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="807"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="807" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/809.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="809"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="809" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
