Strong's Lexicon tsali: Roasted Original Word: צָלִי Word Origin: Derived from the root צָלָה (tsalah), meaning "to roast" or "to broil." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for roasted in the context of sacrificial offerings is not directly paralleled in the New Testament, but related concepts of sacrifice and offering can be found in entries like Strong's Greek 2380 (thuo - to sacrifice) and 3957 (pascha - Passover). Usage: The term "tsali" refers specifically to something that is roasted, particularly meat. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is often used to describe the preparation of sacrificial offerings or meals, especially in the context of the Passover lamb, which was to be roasted and eaten as part of the Passover celebration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, roasting was a common method of cooking, especially for sacrificial offerings. The roasting of the Passover lamb was a significant ritual, symbolizing the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, as there was no time to boil the meat. This method of preparation was also a practical choice for nomadic people, as it required minimal equipment and could be done quickly over an open flame.
