Raisin-Cakes

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ra'-z'-n-kaks: the Revised Version (British and American) gives this rendering for the King James Version "foundations" inIsa 16:7(Hebrew 'ashishah from 'ashash, "to found," "make firm," "press"). The trade in these would cease through the desolation of the vineyards. For the King James Version "flagons of wine" inHo 3:1, the Revised Version (British and American) gives "cakes of raisins," such as were offered to the gods of the land, the givers of the grape (compareSo 2:5).
