5. For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6. “Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have appointed forty days, each day for a year, to you.
7. You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8. Behold, I put ropes on you, and you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9. “Take for yourself also wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel. Make bread of it. According to the number of the days that you will lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10. Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day. From time to time you shall eat it.
11. You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin. From time to time you shall drink.
12. You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.”
13. The Lord said, “Even thus will the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.”
14. Then I said, “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals. No abominable meat has come into my mouth!”
