Boru....lol. We're talking about a book that also contains rather elaborate dietary codes. That the authors had ideas about food and food preparation and that they expressed them both literally and metaphorically is not at all debatable or in question. Still ridiculous, often even more ridiculous because of it.
The fact that the Bible talks about food has nothing to do with whether your quoted passage qualifies as a recipe. The passage tells what’s in the bread, but does doesn’t give amounts or proportions. And while it tells you what fuel to use for your cooking fire, it doesn’t tell you how big a fire, how hot a fire, or how long to cook the bread.
Tell me if what follows qualifies as a recipe:
Get some flour, eggs, oil, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and bicarb. Cook it in a gas oven.
