and millet (grain type in Ezekiel's symbolic bread recipe during siege)
A grain type mentioned in Ezekiel 4:9's list of ingredients for the prophet's siege bread. Millet was a common ancient Near Eastern grain, drought-resistant and nutritious but considered inferior to wheat. The mix of wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt represents scavenging whatever grains were available during food scarcity—normally, these wouldn't be combined. The recipe symbolizes the desperation of Jerusalem's coming siege.

1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 4:9 commands: 'Take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel and make bread of them.' Spanish 'mijo,' French 'mil,' and English 'millet' all identify this grain uniformly. The context is famine food—mixing diverse grains that would normally be kept separate. Millet's inclusion shows the extremity: even less desirable grains must be used to survive the siege. 1×
