12 Cocerás ese pan con excremento humano, y a la vista de todos lo comerás, como si fuera una torta de cebada».

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 Cada día comerás, a una hora fija, una ración de un cuarto de kilo.

11 También a una hora fija beberás medio litro de agua.

12 Cocerás ese pan con excremento humano, y a la vista de todos lo comerás, como si fuera una torta de cebada».

13 Luego el SEÑOR añadió: «De igual manera, los israelitas comerán alimentos impuros en medio de las naciones por donde los voy a dispersar».

14 Entonces exclamé: «¡No, SEÑOR mi Dios! ¡Yo jamás me he contaminado con nada! Desde mi niñez y hasta el día de hoy, jamás he comido carne de ningún animal que se haya encontrado muerto, o que haya sido despedazado por las fieras. ¡Por mi boca no ha entrado ningún tipo de carne impura!»
