In the biblical context, it often appears in narratives related to bread-making and is associated with the process of leavening, where dough is left to rise.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, bread was a staple food, and the process of making bread was a daily task. Dough, or "batseq," was a crucial component in this process. The Israelites used both leavened and unleavened bread, with unleavened bread (matzah) being particularly significant during the Passover festival, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt when the Israelites left in haste and 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>to swell<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>swell (2).<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>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>swell</b></font> — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3feminine singular <font class="hebrew2">בָּעֵ֑קָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/8-4.htm">Deuteronomy 8:4</a>;
