  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Mouldy 
  Of  the  Gibeonites  it  is  said  that  "all  the  bread  of  their 
  provision  was  dry  and  mouldy"  (Josh.  9:5,  12).  The  Hebrew  word 
  here  rendered  mouldy"  nikuddim  is  rendered  cracknels"  in  1 
  Kings  14:3,  and  denotes  a  kind  of  crisp  cake.  The  meaning  is 
  that  the  bread  of  the  Gibeonites  had  become  dry  and  hard,  hard 
  as  biscuits,  and  thus  was  an  evidence  of  the  length  of  the 
  journey  they  had  travelled.
