CAKE

Various food products made from wheat or barley meal, figs or raisins, and shaped or molded into a compact form. Water, oil, and spices might be added to dough which was formed into ring, disk, heart, and flat shapes. Several Hebrew terms are used to denote cakes. “Wafer” is used to render Heb. ṣappîḥiṯ, a thin cake made of honey (Exod. 16:31). Cakes for cereal offerings could be baked in an oven, in a pan, or on a griddle (Lev. 2:4-7).

Grain cakes were part of a meal offered to guests (Gen. 18:6). Cakes of figs were used for gifts (1 Sam. 25:18) and as travel provisions (1 Chr. 12:40). Unleavened cakes made with oil were used during the ordination offering of well-being (Exod. 29:2, 23) and for grain offerings (Lev. 2:4). Some Israelites made cakes for the queen of heaven which were marked with or shaped in her image (Jer. 44:19).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
