NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ She went there and found him in bed. She prepared dough and made some cakes there where he could see her. Then she baked the cakes. ⁹ Tamar emptied them out of the pan for him to eat. But he refused to eat. He said: Send everyone away. So they all left. ¹⁰ He said to her: »Bring the cakes here to my bed and serve them to me.« She took the cakes and went over to him. ¹¹ She offered them to him. He grabbed her and said: »Come to bed with me!« ¹² She said: »No! Do not force me to do this disgraceful thing. It is evil. ¹³ »How could I ever hold up my head in public again? And you, you would be completely disgraced in Israel. Please speak to the king. I am sure he will give me to you.« ¹⁴ Amnon wouldn’t listen to her. He grabbed his sister and raped her.

she took.Dr. Russell says, "The Eastern ladies often wash their own hands, prepare cakes, pastry, etc. in their apartments; and some few particular dishes are cooked by themselves, but not in their apartments: on such occasions, they go to some room near the kitchen."
flour. or, paste. 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."
