baked pieces, broken fragments (uncertain term, possibly describing pieces of a grain offering)
A textually uncertain word appearing only in Leviticus 6:21 (English 6:14), in the context of grain offering instructions. BDB labels it a 'doubtful word,' with the traditional rendering 'baked pieces' based on deriving it from the root meaning 'to bake.' However, many scholars emend the text to read a verb from the root meaning 'to break' (פתת), yielding 'you shall break it into pieces.' The multilingual evidence reflects this uncertainty, with some translators rendering it as 'baked pieces' or 'cakes,' while others acknowledge the textual difficulty by bracketing.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Likely refers to baked or broken pieces of a grain offering, though the precise meaning remains disputed. The Leviticus 6:21 context describes the preparation of a meal offering, where the substance is to be broken or divided. English and Spanish traditions ('baked pieces,' 'tortas cocidas') suggest a connection to the baking process, while the uncertain Hebrew form has prompted various scholarly reconstructions. The term appears to describe either the form of the offering (pieces, fragments) or its preparation method (baked). 1×
