“Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. 11 You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.”
13 Then the LORD said, “So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.”
14 So I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth.”
15 Then He said to me, “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.”
Ezekiel 4:9-15 (New King James Version)

You need to read the verses in front of and behind it to get the message. We generally use the new testament no days and its easier to understand. The people in the old testament were under a different covenant with God.

That's a prophetic word, not a literal story. Make some sense of the symbolism and you'll realize it.

Middle easterners still use dried animal dung to make fires.
You're just mad that we won't allow you to become a minister, right?
