What did Tamar feed her half-brother Amnon in 2 Samuel 13?
The word LBBWT used for a food item is found in Tanakh only in this passage.
In the passage, we find that it is made of dough that is kneaded, then
cooked. The word for cooking, B$L usually refers to cooking in water, i.e.
boiling.
We then find that Tamar took M$RT and poured out before Amnon. Is the same
M$RT as found in Numbers 6:3 referring to juice? (I think the evidence is
pretty strong that sin and shin were the same letter at that time, thus
making it possible that the two terms were then the same.)
Taking all the clues together, did Tamar cook a dumpling soup and pour it
into a bowl (the bowl being understood) before Amnon?
