pieces (of bread); fragments used in a metaphorical context of prophetic condemnation
This plural construct form refers to small pieces or crumbs of bread, appearing in Ezekiel's harsh rebuke of false prophets. The passage condemns those who would manipulate God's people for trivial rewards—mere morsels of bread. The word captures both the physical fragments and the moral pettiness of selling out spiritual integrity for such little gain. It's a vivid image: prophets bartering truth for breadcrumbs.

Senses
1. sense 1 Used in Ezekiel 13:19 within a scathing critique of false prophets who profane God for handfuls of barley and pieces of bread. The Spanish "pedazos" (pieces) and English "pieces-of" confirm the fragmentary nature. The word emphasizes the smallness and worthlessness of what these charlatans accept as payment for corrupting truth.
