Context: The Hebrew word צְלוּל (tselul) is a noun that appears in the context of ancient Hebrew dietary practices. It is derived from the root צָלַל (tsalal), which generally means "to sink" or "to submerge," suggesting a possible method of preparation or texture related to the cake. The term is used to describe a specific type of cake, which may have been a common food item during biblical times. The exact nature and ingredients of this cake are not detailed in the biblical text, but it is likely to have been a simple, unleavened bread or pastry, possibly used in religious or communal meals. The cultural and religious significance of such cakes in ancient Israelite society may have been considerable, as food often played a role in ritual and fellowship.
