Ezekiel 4:9

Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.

Ver. 9. Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley, &c.] Promiscuam farraginem; to show what shall be the condition of the city in the time of the siege. Miscellan bread shall be good fare, but hard to come by in that grievous famine.

Three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.] Not sleep all the while, as some Papists would have it, grounding their conceit upon their Trent translation of Ezekiel 4:4, Sleep thou also upon thy left side, &c.; but lying and sleeping are distinct things, as may be seen, Psalms 3:5; Psalms 4:8 .
