Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for עֻגָּה in the Strong's Concordance, as this specific type of bread is unique to the Hebrew cultural and historical context. However, the general concept of bread is represented by the Greek word ἄρτος (artos) in the New Testament, which is Strong's Greek Number 740. Usage: The term עֻגָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a simple form of bread, often prepared quickly and without leaven, typically in times of haste or need. Context: The Hebrew word עֻגָּה (uggah) refers to a basic form of bread, commonly known as an ash-cake. This type of bread was a staple in ancient Near Eastern diets, particularly among the Israelites. The preparation involved mixing flour with water to form a dough, which was then shaped into a round, flat cake. This cake was baked directly on hot stones or in the ashes of a fire, giving it a distinct texture and flavor. In the biblical narrative, ash-cakes are often associated with times of urgency or simplicity. For instance, in Genesis 18:6, when Abraham hurried to prepare a meal for his divine visitors, he instructed Sarah to quickly make cakes. Similarly, in 1 Kings 19:6, Elijah, fleeing for his life, was provided with a cake baked on hot stones by an angel, symbolizing sustenance and divine provision in a time of need. The simplicity of the ash-cake reflects the humble and transient nature of life in the wilderness, as seen in the Israelites' journey through the desert. It serves as a reminder of God's provision and the sustenance He provides, even in the most basic forms.
