Ezekiel 4:9-15

Making Unclean Bread

9 “Now as for you, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and ^aspelt; set them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself; you shall eat it according to the number of the days that you lie on your side, 390 days. 10 And your food which you eat shall be ¹^atwenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time. 11 The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a ¹hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time. 12 You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human ^adung.” 13 Then Yahweh said, “Thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread ^aunclean among the nations where I will banish them.” 14 But I said, “^aAh, Lord Yahweh! Behold, I have ^bnever been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what ^cdied of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any ^doffensive meat ever entered my mouth.” 15 Then He said to me, “See, I will set for you cow’s dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread.”
