'Cooking' in the Bible
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau happened to come in from being outdoors, and he was feeling famished.
The Israelis told them, "If only we had died by the LORD's hand in the land of Egypt when we sat by the cooking pots, when we ate bread until we were filled because you brought us to this desert to kill this entire congregation with hunger."
You are to eat it as barley cakes and bake it right in front of them, using dried human dung for cooking fuel."
"Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says, "The corpses that you've laid out in your midst are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. But you'll be taken out from the middle of it.
This city won't be your cooking pot and neither will you be the meat in it, because I'm going to judge you as far as the borders of Israel.
