Ezekiel 4:15
_ _ cow’s dung — a mitigation of the former order (Ezekiel 4:12); no longer “the dung of man”; still the bread so baked is “defiled,” to imply that, whatever partial abatement there might be for the prophet’s sake, the main decree of God, as to the pollution of Israel by exile among Gentiles, is unalterable. |
Ezekiel 4:15
Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow's (m) dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.
(m) To be as fire to bake your bread with. |
- cow's dung:
- Dried cow-dung is a common fuel in the East, as it is in many parts of England, to the present day; but the prophet was ordered to prepare his bread with human ordure, to shew the extreme degree of wretchedness to which the besieged should be exposed, as they would be obliged literally to use it, from not being able to leave the city to collect other fuel.
Ezekiel 4:15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
