Cracknel
(only in the plur. נַקֻּדַּים, nikkuddim', literally cakes marked with points), probably a kind of biscuit or other cake baked hard and punctured with holes, such as Jeroboam's wife took in disguise (they being of a very common description) as a present to the prophet Ahijah (1Ki 14:3, where the Sept. has κολλυρίς, Vulg. crustula). SEE BREAD. The original word (in nearly the same form) occurs in Jos 9:5,12, where it is improperly rendered "mouldy" (q.v.). SEE CAKE.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
