Reading for February 9th
Read Ezekiel 4.9-17
Ezekiel uses a variety of grains to demonstrate that there is insufficient grain to make an entire loaf.
Twenty shekels: About ten ounces.
One-sixth of a him: About two-thirds of a quart.
In order to demonstrate the difficult conditions of the coming siege, God commands Ezekiel to bake bread using human dung as fuel.
When he protests that this is a breach of priestly purity, God allows him to use cow's dung.
In verses 16-17 see Isa 3.1.
