cow's dung:
Dried cow-dung is a common fuel in the East, as it is in many parts of England, to the present day; but the prophet was ordered to prepare his bread with human ordure, to shew the extreme degree of wretchedness to which the besieged should be exposed, as they would be obliged literally to use it, from not being able to leave the city to collect other fuel. "Then he saidª ° unto¹ me, Lo,ª ° I have givenª ° thee¹ cow'sª dungª ° for¹ man'sª dung,ª and thou shalt prepareª °¹ thy breadª therewith.¹" {Ezk 4:15}
