Eating shit / shit / shit in the Bible
One of the blessings that the God of the Holy Bible (excuse me for calling him a god) has bestowed is that he always improves the type of fuel used in cooking food. We see him say in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 4,
12: “And you shall eat barley cakes.” 13And the LORD said, “Thus shall the children of Israel eat their unclean bread among the nations where I will drive them.” 14And I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, my soul is not defiled! And from my youth until now I have not eaten anything that died of itself or was torn to pieces, nor has any unclean meat entered my mouth.” 15And he said to me, “Look! I have given you cow dung instead of human dung, so you may make your bread on it.”Thank God that this god does not exist. He would have told us that cars run on children’s urine.
There is nothing strange about that. In the Bible, there are people who eat their own dung. This is disgusting talk, but Jesus loves you. Therefore, we see in the Book of Ezekiel, chapter thirty-six,
12 Then Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? Is it not for the men sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?
I have some questions that I hope you will answer in this verse in Deuteronomy chapter twenty-three: “
And you shall have a pole with your provisions, to dig it when you sit outside, and when you return, you shall cover your excrement.”
Why does it return to its excrement and cover it? What is the benefit of covering excrement? Why do you defecate in a place where it is not proper to defecate in the first place?
וְעֻגַת שְׂעֹרִים, תֹּאכְלֶנָּה; וְהִיא, בְּגֶלְלֵי צֵאַת הָאָדָם-- תְּעֻגֶנָה , לְעֵינֵיהֶם.

Rashad Fikri’s interpretation of the above text says verbatim:
quote
“And so the children of Israel shall eat their unclean bread among the nations to which I shall drive them” (v. 14). And such a judgment is announced by the prophet Hosea in the words: “They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord, but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria” (Hosea 9:3, 4). And the Lord commanded Ezekiel to bake barley cakes on the excrement that comes out of man, where he baked them before his eyes.
The text of Isaiah 36:12 indicates the following:
Then Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? Is it not for the men sitting on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?” Written by the interpreter Nashed Hanna, we read:
quote
Rabshakeh says that he addresses the speech in the Jewish language so that all the people will hear and tremble and fear and they will reach the point of eating their own excrement ( i.e. their own feces ) from hunger, and drinking their own urine from thirst, as if he is saying that your reliance on the Lord will lead you to hunger and thirst until you reach this state , and we know that from 2 Chronicles 32:11 where we read, “Is not Hezekiah tempting you to make you die of hunger and thirst?”
In application of the text of Isaiah 36:12,
Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? Has it not been to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?” A Canadian doctor cites the above text, saying,
“ This is a cup of my urine that I drink before you today. It is the water of life, delicious, and has a slightly salty taste .”
Chapter 4 of the Book of Ezekiel
3 “ And take for yourself an iron sheet and set it up as a wall of iron between you and the city, and set your face against it, so that it will be in siege and besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 “And you shall lie on your left side, and lay on it the iniquity of the house of Israel. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
5 And I have appointed to you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days , three hundred and ninety days; and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 And when you have finished them, then lie on your right side also, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days.
7 Therefore set your face against the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm be uncovered, and prophesy against it. 8 And behold, I will put bands upon you,
and you shall not turn from side to side until you have completed the days of your siege.
9 “And you shall take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel and make for yourself bread according to the number of days that you lie on your side; you shall eat it three hundred and ninety days.
10 And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels each day.
11 And you shall drink water by the measure, a sixth part of a hin; from time to time you shall drink it.
12 And you shall eat barley cakes ; you shall bake them with the dung that comes out of a man in their sight. 13
And the LORD says, “Thus shall the children of Israel eat their unclean bread among the nations where I will drive them.”
14 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, my soul is not defiled. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything that died of itself or was torn to pieces, nor has unclean meat entered my mouth.”
15 Then he said to me, “See, I have given you cow’s dung instead of human dung, so that you may make your bread on it.”
16 And he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with astonishment,
17 so that they will lack bread and water, and be astonished, both man and his brother, and be consumed in their iniquity.”
Do the texts indicate that the children of Israel are in a position of blame and punishment or in a position of praise or instruction?!
Where was it said that bread made with human excrement becomes impure, but bread made with cow dung does not become impure?!
And if cow dung does not become impure, then where is the punishment?!
