Bread of Famine and Defilement

Ezekiel 4:9-15

Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.

Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.

The LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.

Then I said, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

Then he said to me, Behold, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.
