and made cakes . Rather , as Mr. Parkhurst renders , "and tossed it (wattelabbaiv) in his sight , and dressed the tossed cakes (halleveevoth)." This will receive illustration from the account which Mr. Jackson gives of the Arabian manner of kneading and baking. "They have a small place built with clay , between two and three feet high , having a hole at the bottom for the convenience of drawing out the ashes , something similar to that of a brick-kiln. The oven is usually about fifteen inches wide at top , and gradually grows wider to the bottom. It is heated with wood; and when sufficiently hot , and perfectly clear from smoke , having nothing but clear embers at bottom , which continue to reflect great heat , they prepare the dough in a large bowl , and mould the cakes to the desired size on a board or stone placed near the oven. After they have kneaded the cake to a proper consistency , they pat it a little , then toss it about with great dexterity in one hand till it is as thin as they choose to make it. They then wet one side of it with water , at the same time wetting the hand and arm with which they put it into the oven." 2 Samuel 13 . 8
