It is used in contexts where food is cooked over a fire or in an oven, indicating a method of cooking that involves dry heat.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, roasting was a common method of preparing food, especially during sacrificial rituals and feasts. The act of roasting meat was significant in the preparation of offerings, such as the Passover lamb, which was to be roasted whole. This method of cooking was not only practical but also held ceremonial importance, symbolizing purity and dedication to God.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
