a round cake or bread, possibly a sacrificial or staple food item
This word for 'cake' appears in two diverse contexts: the widow of Zarephath gathering sticks to bake a final small cake for herself and her son (1 Kings 17:12), and the difficult phrase in Psalm 35:16, 'mockers of cake,' which many emend. The bread was apparently round and flat, suitable for quick baking. The widow's story emphasizes extreme poverty—she has only enough for one last meal—making Elijah's request all the more striking. The Psalm 35 reference remains textually uncertain; if original, it might denote base buffoons who mock for the price of food.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A round, flat cake or bread. The 1 Kings context is straightforward: a simple baked good that even the poorest household could make with minimal flour and oil. The Psalm 35:16 text is obscure; if 'mockers for a cake' is correct, it would describe mercenary jesters or scoffers who perform for food. The multilingual glosses uniformly translate 'cake' or 'torta,' supporting the basic meaning as a baked food item, though the Psalm passage may preserve an idiomatic expression now lost to us. 2×
