Flour
stands in the Auth. Vers. as the representative of the following Heb. words: קֶמִח (Ke'Mach, literally marrow, SEE FAT, Judges 6:19; 1 Samuel 1:24; 1 Samuel 28:24; 2 Samuel 17:28, meal, as it is elsewhere rendered), סֹלֶת (so'leth, from stripping off the hull, the finest and purest part of the meal, usually rendered "fine flour," Sept. and N. Test. Σεμίδαλις , Revelation 18:13), and בָּצֵק (Batsek', from its swelling in rising, 2 Samuel 13:18, dough as it is elsewhere rendered). SEE MEAL.
In early times corn was often eaten whole without any preparation at all ( Deuteronomy 23:25), and the custom was not entirely disused in the time of our Savior ( Matthew 12:1). Parching it afterwards became so general that the words which properly mean parched were also used for corn or meal ( Ruth 2:14; 2 Samuel 17:28). (See Parched Corn). Mortars were used in the time of Moses for bruising corn, as was also the mill ( Numbers 11:8). (See Mortar). Fine meal, that is, corn or grain ground or beaten fine, is spoken of as far back as the time of Abraham ( Genesis 18:6). At first, barley alone was ground. but afterwards wheat, as only the poor used barley. Barley-bread appears to have been more suitable in the warm climate of the East than in a colder climate. (See Bread).
On the second day, however, it becomes insipid and rough to the palate, as is likewise the case with wheaten bread; hence the necessity of baking every day, and hence also the daily grinding at the mills about evening — alluded to by the prophet Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 25:10). (See Mill). The flour, being mingled with water, was reduced to a solid mass in a sort of wooden tray or kneading-trough (q.v.); this, after remaining a little time, was kneaded, some leaven being also added to it ( Exodus 12:34). (See Leaven). In case it was necessary to prepare the bread very hastily, the leaven was left out ( Genesis 18:6; Genesis 19:3). The cakes, when made, were round, and nine or ten inches in diameter, and often not thicker than a knife. — Jahn, Aschaeol. § 137-140. (See Cake). Fine flour was especially offered by the poor as a sin-offering ( Leviticus 5:11-13), end in connection with other sacrifices in general ( Numbers 15:3-12; Numbers 28:7-29). (See Offering).
