RF EZE 4:1 The Doom of Jerusalem.
"So now, son of Adam, take a tile1 and place it before you, and draw upon it the city of Jerusalem.
RF EZE 4:2 And portray upon it a siege, and build a rampart against it; heap up an embankment against it, and represent camps against it, and place battering rams around it.
RF EZE 4:3 Then take an iron plate, and make of it a wall of iron between you and the city, and fix your face towards it, and let it be a siege, and besiege it. That shall be a sign to the House of Israel.
RF EZE 4:4 "You must also lie on your left side, and place the frailties of the House of Israel upon it; for the number of days that you lie upon it, you shall carry the frailties of the House of Israel;
RF EZE 4:5 for I have laid upon you the years of their frailty, by the number of the days,—three hundred and ninety days, during which you shall carry the frailty of Israel.
RF EZE 4:6 But when you have accomplished these, then you shall lie upon your right side again, and bear the frailty of the House of Judah for forty days,—a day for a year,—a day for a year,—I have laid upon you.
RF EZE 4:7 "Then set before you the siege of Jerusalem, and strip your arm, and preach against it.
RF EZE 4:8 So look! I will put bonds on you, and you shall not turn from side to side, until the time of the siege is completed.
RF EZE 4:9 Also take wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and spilt, and millet, and put them into the same dish, and make bread of them for yourself. For the prescribed period that you are to be on your side; you shall eat it for three hundred and ninety days.
RF EZE 4:10 You must eat it by weight of ten shekels a day; eat it from time to time.
RF EZE 4:11 Also drink your water by measure,—the sixth part of a hin. Drink it from time to time.
RF EZE 4:12 Eat it like barley cakes, and bake them with human dung in their sight!"
RF EZE 4:13 And the Lord added; "The children of Israel shall eat their bread defiled like that, by the heathen, to whom I drive them."
RF EZE 4:14 But I replied, "Oh! Mighty Lord, look at my life! I have not defiled myself,—nor have I ever eaten a dead carcase, or one that has been torn, from my youth until now;—nor has foul food entered my mouth."

1 Note.—Ch. 4, v. 1, "a tile." As before noted in Jeremiah, these "tiles" or tablets of clay were the usual means of writing upon in that time. Large quantities of them can be seen in the Assyrian Court of the British Museum.
RF EZE 4:15 However He answered me," Look! I will appoint cow-dung instead of human-dung, so prepare your food with that."
RF EZE 4:16 Then He said to me, "Son of Adam! I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and in dread; and drink by measure and measure,
RF EZE 4:17 because they shall be destitute of bread and water, and each suspect his brother, and waste away in their sin.
