Num. xv, 20, 21 ; Neh. x, 37 ; Ezek. xliv, 80). See Cook. The dough, we are told, which the Israelites had prepared for baking, and on which it appears they subsisted after they left Egypt for a month, was carried away by them in their knead- ing-troughs on their shoulders (Exod. xil, 84).

See Bread. The fermentation is
