Strong's Lexicon batseq: Dough Original Word: בָּצֵק Word Origin: From the root verb בצק (batsaq), meaning "to swell" or "to bulge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "dough" in the New Testament is ζύμη (zume), Strong's Greek #2219, which refers to leaven or yeast, often used metaphorically to describe influence or permeation. Usage: The Hebrew word "batseq" refers to dough, specifically the mixture of flour and water that is used to make bread. In the biblical context, it often appears in narratives related to bread-making and is associated with the process of leavening, where dough is left to rise. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, bread was a staple food, and the process of making bread was a daily task. Dough, or "batseq," was a crucial component in this process. The Israelites used both leavened and unleavened bread, with unleavened bread (matzah) being particularly significant during the Passover festival, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt when the Israelites left in haste and did not have time to let their dough rise.
