“And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and emmer,[a] and put them into a single vessel and make your (A)bread from them. (B)During the number of days that you lie on your side, (C)390 days, you shall eat it. 10 And your food that you eat shall be (D)by weight, (E)twenty shekels[b] a day; from day to day[c] you shall eat it. 11 And water you shall drink (F)by measure, the sixth part of a hin;[d] from day to day you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it (G)in their sight on human dung.” 13 And the Lord said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat (H)their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.”
