Bread of Famine and Defilement

Ezekiel 4:9-15

`And thou, take to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and thou hast put them in one vessel, and made them to thee for bread; the number of the days that thou art lying on thy side--three hundred and ninety days--thou dost eat it.

And thy food that thou dost eat is by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it.

`And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink it .

A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung--the filth of man--thou dost bake before their eyes.

And Jehovah saith, `Thus do the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations whither I drive them.'

And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled, and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.'

And He saith unto me, `See, I have given to thee bullock's dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy bread by it.'
