Grain reduced to the form of meal is spoken of in the time of Abraham (Ge 18:6). As baking was a daily necessity, grain was also ground daily at the mills (Jer 25:10). The flour mingled with water was kneaded in kneading-troughs, and sometimes leaven (Ex 12:34) was added and sometimes omitted (Ge 19:3). The dough was then formed into thin cakes nine or ten inches in diameter and baked in the oven.
Fine flour was offered by the poor as a sin-offering (Le 5:11-13), and also in connection with other sacrifices (Nu 15:3-12; 28:7-29).
