I rzekł do mnie: Oto dawam ci łajno wołowe miasto łajna człowieczego, a na nim sobie upieczesz chleb.
Ale on rzekł do mnie: Oto daję ci łajna wołowe miasto łajen człowieczych, abyś sobie przy nich napiekł chleba.
Dobrze - usłyszałem. - Zastąp więc odchody ludzkie gnojem bydlęcym, na nich piecz sobie placki.
Wtedy do mnie powiedział: Oto zezwalam ci na rozpałkęz rogacizny, zamiast z ludzkich odchodów, byś na niej przygotował swój chleb.
Ale on rzekł do mnie: Oto daję ci łajna wołowe miasto łajen człowieczych, abyś sobie przy nich napiekł chleba.
Ale on powiedział do mnie: Oto daję ci odchody wołowe zamiast odchodów ludzkich, abyś sobie na nich upiekł chleb.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
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
Reciprocal: 2 Kings 18:27 - eat Lamentations 1:11 - seek
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then he said to me,.... The Lord hearkened to the prophet's prayer and argument, and makes some abatement and alteration in the charge he gave him:
lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung: that is, allowed him to make use of the one instead of the other, in baking his mingled bread:
thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith; having gathered cow's dung, and dried it, he was to burn it, and bake his bread with it, which is meant by preparing it. In some parts of our nation, where fuel is scarce, cow's dung is made use of; it is gathered and plastered on the walls of houses, and, being dried in clots, is taken and burnt.
