Ezekiel bread

Ezekiel bread


My family buys Ezekiel bread quite often. It is a product inspired by Ezekiel 4:9:

Take also unto thee Wheat, and Barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and Spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it…

The hilarious thing is they didn't seem to read the rest of the chapter, because a few verses later God says:

And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it in their sight on human dung.

Ezekiel whines to God about this, so God, in his infinite kindness, says it's okay to use cow dung instead of human dung.

Now who wants some scrumptious Ezekiel bread?
