This term is used in the context of food preparation, particularly in the making of bread, which was a staple in the ancient Near Eastern diet.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, bread was a fundamental part of daily sustenance. The process of kneading dough was a common household task, typically performed by women. Bread-making was not only a daily necessity but also held religious significance, as seen in the preparation of unleavened bread during Passover. The act of kneading is symbolic of preparation and transformation, turning raw ingredients into a nourishing product.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to knead<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>knead (2), kneaded (2), kneading (1).<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">לוּשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>knead</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
