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 Y la comida que has de comer será por peso de veinte siclos al día; de tiempo a tiempo la comerás

11 Y beberás el agua por medida, la sexta parte de un hin; de tiempo en tiempo la beberás

12 Y comerás pan de cebada cocido debajo de la ceniza; y lo cocerás con los estiércoles que salen del hombre, delante de los ojos de ellos

13 Y dijo el SEÑOR: Así comerán los hijos de Israel su pan inmundo, entre los gentiles a donde los lanzaré yo

14 Y dije: ¡Ah Señor DIOS! He aquí que mi alma no es inmunda, ni nunca desde mi juventud hasta este tiempo comí cosa mortecina ni despedazada, ni nunca en mi boca entró carne inmunda
