Bakery


‎The painting in a small side chamber of the burial site of pharaoh Ramses III (1187–1156 BCE) illustrates the workings of a bakery at court. On the top left the dough is kneaded by feet; then it is brought in a jug to the working table of the baker, who forms the loaves into a variety of shapes. Afterwards the various sorts of bread and cake are baked in many different ovens.
Gen 18:6; 40:1–22; Lev 23:17; Jer 7:18; Hos 7:4
