Symbols and Similitudes: Cooking

Source: Nav

Jeremiah 1:13 Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”
Ezekiel 4:9–15 But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days you lie on your side. / You are to weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day, and you are to eat it at set times. / You are also to measure out a sixth of a hin of water to drink, and you are to drink it at set times.
Ezekiel 24:3–5 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water. / Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece—thigh and shoulder—fill it with choice bones. / Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
