Ezequiel 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 4:12

And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes
That is, the bread made of wheat, barley, beans, lentiles, millet, and fitches, was to be made in the form of barley cakes, and to be baked as they; not in an oven, but under ashes; and these ashes not of wood, or straw, or turf, but as follows: and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of men, in their
sight:
the prophet was to take human dung, and dry it, and then cover the cakes or loaves of his mixed bread with it, and burn it over them, and with it bake it; which must be a very disagreeable task to him, and make the food very nauseous, both to himself and to the Jews, in whose sight it was done; and this shows scarcity of fuel, and the severity of the famine; that they had not fuel to bake with, or could not stay till it was baked in an oven, and therefore took this method; as well as points at what they were to eat when carried captive, as follows:

Ezequiel 4:12 In-Context

10 E a tua comida, que hás de comer, será por peso, vinte siclos cada dia; de tempo em tempo a comerás.

11 Também beberás a água por medida, a sexta parte dum him; de tempo em tempo beberás.

12 Tu a comerás como bolos de cevada, e � vista deles a assarás sobre o excremento humano.

13 E disse o Senhor: Assim comerão os filhos de Israel o seu pão imundo, entre as nações, para onde eu os lançarei.

14 Então disse eu: Ah Senhor Deus! eis que a minha alma não foi contaminada: pois desde a minha mocidade até agora jamais comi do animal que morre de si mesmo, ou que é dilacerado por feras; nem carne abominável entrou na minha boca.
