Verse 9 is found in chapter 4 of Ezekiel. The preparation of scarce food and restriction of water represent the famine that will accompany the siege. Food scarcity is interpreted as a consequence of judgment upon Israel’s rebellion. The symbolism communicates that military destruction will have daily effects on the population’s survival.

So nimm nun zu dir Weizen, Gerste, Bohnen, Linsen, Hirse und Spelt und tue alles in ein Faß und mache dir Brot daraus, soviel Tage du auf deiner Seite liegst, daß du dreihundertundneunzig Tage daran zu essen hast,
Y tú toma para ti trigo, y cebada, y habas, y lentejas, y mijo, y avena, y ponlo en una vasija, y hazte pan de ello el número de los días que durmieres sobre tu lado: trescientos y noventa días comerás de él.
Toma trigo, cebada, habas, lentejas, mijo y espelta; ponlos en una sola vasija y hazte pan con ellos. Lo comerás durante los días que permanezcas acostado sobre tu lado: trescientos noventa días.
Prends du froment, de l'orge, des fèves, des lentilles, du millet et de l'épeautre, mets-les dans un vase, et fais-en du pain autant de jours que tu seras couché sur le côté; tu en mangeras pendant trois cent quatre-vingt-dix jours.
Prenditi eziandio del frumento, e dell’orzo, e delle fave, e delle lenti, e del miglio, e della veccia; e metti quelle cose in un vasello, e fattene del pane, e di quello mangia tutti i giorni che tu giacerai sopra il tuo lato, cioè trecennovanta giorni.
E tu, toma trigo, e cevada, e favas, e lentilhas, e milho e aveia, e coloca-os numa vasilha, e faze deles pão; conforme o número dos dias que tu te deitares sobre o teu lado, trezentos e noventa dias, comerás disso.
