Ezekiel 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 4:11

Thou shall drink also water by measure
Not wine, but water; and this not as much as he would, but a certain measure; which shows great want of it, and expresses a very distressed condition see ( Lamentations 5:4 ) ; the sixth part of an hin;
a hin held twelve logs, or seventy two egg shells, or about three quarts of our measure; and the sixth part of one were two logs, or twelve egg shells, and about a pint of our measure; so that it was but a pint of water a day that the prophet was allowed, as a token of the great scarcity of it in the siege of Jerusalem: from time to time shalt thou drink:
as before.

Ezekiel 4:11 In-Context

9 "Then take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and winter wheat. Put them in a container, and use them to make bread for yourself. Eat it during the 390 days that you are lying on your side.

10 The food that you eat should be weighed. Eat eight ounces of food every day at set times.

11 Measure out two-thirds of a quart of water, and drink it at set times.

12 Eat the bread as you would eat barley loaves. Bake the bread in front of people, using human excrement for fuel."

13 Then the LORD said, "In the same way, the people of Israel will eat unclean bread among the nations where I scatter them."
