Tanach Recipe

Thanks to Justin Lewis for bringing this to my attention

Now that you know how to find (p'sukim, verses) in the Tanach using chapter and verse, here is a recipe for you to figure out. Each (pasuk) mentions one of the ingredients (except for Ex. 12:19, which mentions something close enough that you can figure out what the ingredient is.) The idea of presenting a recipe in verse form comes from an American Protestant tradition called 'Scripture Cake.' This Jewish adaptation is by Jeanette Schreiber of Seattle, Washington. Different editions of the Bible sometimes have slightly different chapter and verse numbers, and of course, different English translations. If in doubt, check the JPS Tanakh (Tanakh: A New Translation).

Making this type of food is a lot of fun, and this is a fairly simple recipe but it is still a complex and messy process. Only try making it if you have some time to spare. It is a large recipe; you might want to make a half recipe (divide everything by two) It is a 'classic recipe' and 'most reliable.'
