Barnes' Notes
Make me cakes ... a pan - The words here used occur nowhere else, and the etymology is doubtful. Some particular kind of cake or pudding is meant II Samuel 13:8, called a lābı̂ybâh ; according to some, it was, from its etymology, shaped like a heart.
II Samuel 13:9
The dish into which she poured the lābı̂ybâh was doubtless borne to him by one of the servants into the chamber where he lay, and from which, the doors being open, he could see the outer room where Tamar prepared the meat.
