round loaf or cake of bread, particularly of barley bread
This word appears in the famous account of Gideon's eavesdropping, where a Midianite soldier dreams of a barley loaf tumbling into camp and overturning a tent. The word denotes a round, flat cake of bread, the humble food of common people. Barley bread was considered inferior to wheat bread, making the image even more striking: this modest loaf represents Israel overthrowing the mighty Midianite army. The word appears twice in the verse due to Ketiv-Qere textual variation.

1. sense 1 — Both occurrences are in Judges 7:13 (Ketiv and Qere readings), describing the barley loaf in the Midianite's dream. Translations give 'loaf' or 'cake': Spanish 'torta,' French and German with similar forms. The round, flat cake was typical bread form in the ancient world, baked on hot stones or griddles. That it was barley—not wheat—emphasized Israel's humble state compared to the abundant Midianite camp. Yet this small, simple loaf overturns the tent, perfectly foreshadowing Gideon's unlikely victory through God's power rather than military might. 2×
