Topical Encyclopedia In the biblical context, the concept of "cooked" refers to the preparation of food through the application of heat, a practice that is evident throughout the Scriptures. Cooking is an essential aspect of daily life in biblical times, reflecting both the sustenance and the cultural practices of the people.Old Testament References Cooking is first implied in the early chapters of Genesis, where food preparation is a part of daily life. In Genesis 18:6-8, Abraham prepares a meal for the three visitors by instructing Sarah to make bread and selecting a tender calf for a servant to prepare: "So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, 'Quick, prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread.' Then Abraham ran to the herd, selected a tender, choice calf, and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it." The Israelites' diet during their wilderness journey included cooked food, as seen in Exodus 16:23, where Moses instructs the people regarding the preparation of manna: "He told them, 'This is what the LORD has said: Tomorrow is a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil; then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.'" Cooking methods in the Old Testament included baking, boiling, and roasting. Leviticus 2:4 mentions baked offerings: "Now when you present an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must consist of fine flour, unleavened loaves mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil." New Testament References In the New Testament, cooking continues to be a part of daily life. Jesus Himself refers to cooking in His teachings and parables. In Luke 11:11-12, Jesus uses the example of a father providing for his son: "What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?" The preparation of food is also evident in the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus in John 21:9-10, where He prepares a meal for His disciples: "When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus told them, 'Bring some of the fish you have just caught.'" Cultural and Religious Significance Cooking in biblical times was not only a practical necessity but also held cultural and religious significance. Meals were often communal events, fostering fellowship and hospitality. The preparation and sharing of food were integral to the observance of religious feasts and sacrifices, as seen in the Passover meal, where the lamb was to be roasted and eaten in a specific manner (Exodus 12:8-9). The act of cooking and sharing meals is a recurring theme that underscores the importance of community, hospitality, and the provision of God. It reflects the sustenance provided by God and the fellowship among His people, as well as the spiritual nourishment symbolized in the breaking of bread.
