The Bread of Israel

During the number of days that you lie on your side, 390 days, you shall eat it. The food which you shall eat shall be by weight, 20 shekels a day,. And water you shall drink by measure, a sixth part of a hen once a day. Number five, a sharp sword. And you, O Son of man, use it as a barber's razor, and pass it over your head and your beard. Then take balances for weighing and divide the hair. A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed. Another part you shall take and strike with the sword round about the city.
