9But takeH859H3947 wheatH2406, barleyH8184, beansH6321, lentilsH5742, milletH1764, and speltH3698; putH5414 themH853 in a singleH259 containerH3627 and makeH6213 themH853 into breadH3899 for yourself. This is what you are to eatH398 during theH4557 390H7969H3967H8673 daysH3117 you lieH7901 onH5921 your sideH6654. 10You are to weigh outH4946 twentyH6242 shekelsH8255 of foodH39781 to eatH398 each dayH3117, and you are to eat itH398 at set timesH6256H5704.

11You are also to measure outH4884 a sixthH8345 of a hinH1969 of waterH43252 to drinkH8354, and you are to drink itH8354 at set timesH6256H5704. 12And you shall eatH398 the food as you would a barleyH8184 cakeH5692, after you bakeH5746 it over dried humanH120 excrementH1561H6627 in the sightH5869 of the people.”

13Then the LORDH3068 saidH559, “This is howH3602 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 will eatH398 their defiledH2931 breadH3899 among the nationsH1471 to whichH834 I will banish themH5080H8033.”
