6. Abraham hastened . . . unto Sarah . . . make cakes upon the hearth —Bread is baked daily, no more than is required for family use, and always by the women, commonly the wife. It is a short process. Flour mixed with water is made into dough, and being rolled out into cakes, it is placed on the earthen floor, previously heated by a fire. The fire being removed, the cakes are laid on the ground, and being covered over with hot embers, are soon baked, and eaten the moment they are taken off. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
