Berean Strong's Lexicon maog: Cake, round loaf Original Word: מעוג Word Origin: Derived from the root עוג (oog), which means to encircle or to make a circle. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "maog," the concept of bread as sustenance is echoed in the New Testament with terms like "ἄρτος" (artos), which means bread or loaf, as seen in the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:11). Usage: The term "maog" refers to a type of bread or cake, typically round in shape. It is often associated with simple, unleavened bread that was baked on hot stones or in ashes. This bread was a staple in the diet of ancient Israelites, especially during times of travel or hardship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bread was a fundamental part of daily sustenance. The round cakes or loaves, referred to as "maog," were practical for nomadic lifestyles and were often made quickly without leaven. This type of bread is reminiscent of the unleavened bread prepared during the Exodus from Egypt, symbolizing haste and reliance on God's provision.
