  Bread
     among the Jews was generally made of wheat (Ex. 29:2; Judg.
     6:19), though also sometimes of other grains (Gen. 14:18; Judg.
     7:13). Parched grain was sometimes used for food without any
     other preparation (Ruth 2:14).
     
       Bread was prepared by kneading in wooden bowls or "kneading
     troughs" (Gen. 18:6; Ex. 12:34; Jer. 7:18). The dough was mixed
     with leaven and made into thin cakes, round or oval, and then
     baked. The bread eaten at the Passover was always unleavened
     (Ex. 12:15-20; Deut. 16:3). In the towns there were public
     ovens, which were much made use of for baking bread; there were
     also bakers by trade (Hos. 7:4; Jer. 37:21). Their ovens were
     not unlike those of modern times. But sometimes the bread was
     baked by being placed on the ground that had been heated by a
     fire, and by covering it with the embers (1 Kings 19:6). This
     was probably the mode in which Sarah prepared bread on the
     occasion referred to in Gen. 18:6.
     
       In Lev. 2 there is an account of the different kinds of bread
     and cakes used by the Jews. (See BAKE.)
     
       The shew-bread (q.v.) consisted of twelve loaves of unleavened
     bread prepared and presented hot on the golden table every
     Sabbath. They were square or oblong, and represented the twelve
     tribes of Israel. The old loaves were removed every Sabbath, and
     were to be eaten only by the priests in the court of the
     sanctuary (Ex. 25:30; Lev. 24:8; 1 Sam. 21:1-6; Matt. 12:4).
     
       The word bread is used figuratively in such expressions as
     "bread of sorrows" (Ps. 127:2), "bread of tears" (80:5), i.e.,
     sorrow and tears are like one's daily bread, they form so great
     a part in life. The bread of "wickedness" (Prov. 4:17) and "of
     deceit" (20:17) denote in like manner that wickedness and deceit
     are a part of the daily life.
