It appears in contexts such as the post-resurrection meal in Luke 24:42, where Jesus eats a piece of broiled fish. The use of צָלִי in the Hebrew Bible highlights the cultural and religious significance of food preparation methods in ancient Israelite society, particularly in the context of covenantal and sacrificial practices. Usage: The word צָלִי is used in the context of food preparation, specifically referring to meat that is roasted. It appears in the context of sacrificial practices and dietary instructions in the Hebrew Bible. Context: • The term צָלִי is notably used in the context of the Passover meal, where the Israelites were instructed to roast the lamb. This method of preparation was significant in the observance of the Passover, as detailed in Exodus 12:8-9: "They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of the meat raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over the fire—its head and legs and inner parts." • The roasting of the Passover lamb symbolizes the urgency and readiness required of the Israelites as they prepared to leave Egypt. The method of roasting, as opposed to boiling, was a specific command that underscored the distinctiveness of the Passover meal. • The term also appears in other sacrificial contexts, emphasizing the importance of specific preparation methods in ritual observance.
