Ezekiel Bread: Made with Human Dung

Ezekiel 4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.

Ezekiel 4:10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.

EZekiel 4:11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.

Ezekiel 4:12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

Ezekiel 4:15 Then said He unto me: Lo, I allow thee the dung of animals instead of that of man; therewith mayest thou prepare thy bread.

afterwards:

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] ([FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Isaiah 16:11[/FONT][/FONT]

Ezekiel 4:12b,15 could mean that dried dung was to be used as the fuel for the fire by which the bread dough was to be baked or fried, just as still today "in many parts of the developing world, caked and dried cow dung is used as fuel" (Uses of Cow Dung).

Isaiah 16:11

Regarding the KJV of Isaiah 16:11, note that the original Hebrew words translated as "bowels" (H4578) and "inward parts" (H7130) can be translated as "heart" (Psalms 40:8b, Jeremiah 9:8b), in the sense of the figurative seat of emotions within a person. Isaiah 16:11 is referring to the (at that time) future great grief someone would feel over the desolation of once-proud Moab (Isaiah 16:6-14).

 

[vespasia]

Concur Bible heart.
This is the hebrew concept of where the heart is hence some of the seemingly strange to white western ears of descriptions of where God holds man close.

It's a picture of the lack of normal fuel and ingredients for cooking bread, soon to occur to the remainder of God's people.
