In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, dung had practical uses as fertilizer, but it also carried connotations of impurity and was used metaphorically to convey disdain or divine judgment. Old Testament References 1. Fertilizer and Fuel: In the ancient Near East, dung was used as a fertilizer to enrich the soil and as a fuel source for cooking. <a href="/ezekiel/4-12.htm">Ezekiel 4:12-15</a> provides an example where God instructs Ezekiel to bake bread using human dung as fuel, symbolizing the defilement of Israel. However, upon Ezekiel's protest, God allows him to use cow dung instead, highlighting the cultural practice of using animal dung for fuel. 2. Symbol of Judgment and Disgrace: Dung is often used in the Old Testament as a symbol of judgment and disgrace. In <a href="/malachi/2-3.htm">Malachi 2:3</a>, God warns the priests, "Behold, I will rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it." This vivid imagery underscores the severity of God's displeasure with the priests' corrupt practices. 3. Uncleanliness: Dung is associated with uncleanness in the Mosaic Law. <a href="/deuteronomy/23-12.htm">Deuteronomy 23:12-14</a> instructs the Israelites to designate a place outside the camp to relieve themselves and to cover their excrement, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and holiness in the camp where God dwells. New Testament References While the New Testament does not frequently mention dung, it does use the concept metaphorically. In <a href="/philippians/3-8.htm">Philippians 3:8</a>, the Apostle Paul uses the Greek word "skubalon," often translated as "dung" or "rubbish," to describe all things he once valued compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. This reflects the idea that worldly achievements and status are worthless compared to the spiritual riches found in Christ. Cultural and Theological Significance In biblical times, dung was a part of daily life, yet it also served as a powerful symbol in Scripture. Its use in metaphors and prophetic imagery underscores themes of purity, judgment, and the transient nature of earthly things. The biblical portrayal of dung reminds believers of the importance of spiritual cleanliness and the futility of worldly pursuits when compared to the eternal value of a relationship with God.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>DungThe uses of dung were two-fold --as manure and as fuel. The manure consisted either of straw steeped in liquid manure, (<a href="/isaiah/25-10.htm">Isaiah 25:10</a>) or the sweepings, (<a href="/isaiah/5-25.htm">Isaiah 5:25</a>) of the streets and roads, which were carefully removed from about the houses, and collected in heaps outside the walls of the towns at fixed spots --hence the dung-gate at Jerusalem --and thence removed in due course to the fields. The difficulty of procuring fuel in Syria, Arabia and Egypt has made dung in all ages valuable as a substitute. It was probably used for heating ovens and for baking cakes, (<a href="/ezra/4-12.htm">Ezra 4:12,15</a>) the equable heat which it produced adapting it pecularily for the latter operation. Cow's and camels dung is still used for a similar purpose by the Bedouins.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>DungAmong the Israelites, the dung of animals was used only for manure, but, when dried, for fuel. In districts where wood is scarce, the inhabitants are very careful in collecting the dung of camels and asses; it is mixed with chopped straw, and dried. It is not unusual to see a whole village with portions of this material adhering to the walls of the cottages to dry; and towards the end of autumn it is piled in conical heaps or stacks on the roof. It is employed in heating ovens, and for other similar purposes, <a href="/context/ezekiel/4-12.htm">Ezekiel 4:12-16</a>. The use of dung for manure is intimated in <a href="/isaiah/25-10.htm">Isaiah 25:10</a>. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(1.)

To be "cast out as dung," a figurative expression (<a href="/1_kings/14-10.htm">1 Kings 14:10</a>; <a href="/2_kings/9-37.htm">2 Kings 9:37</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/8-2.htm">Jeremiah 8:2</a>; <a href="/psalms/18-42.htm">Psalm 18:42</a>), meaning to be rejected as unprofitable.(2.) Used as fuel, a substitute for firewood, which was with difficulty procured in Syria, Arabia, and Egypt (<a href="/ezekiel/4-12.htm">Ezek. 4:12</a>-15), where cows' and camels' dung is used to the present day for this purpose. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The word used to designate one of the gates of Jerusalem ('ashpoth, <a href="/nehemiah/2-13.htm">Nehemiah 2:13</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/3-14.htm">Nehemiah 3:14</a>) is more general than the others and may mean any kind of refuse. The gate was probably so named because outside it was the general dump heap of the city. Visitors in recent years riding outside the city walls of Jerusalem, on their way to the Mt. of Olives or Jericho, may have witnessed such a dump against the wall, which has existed for generations. The first mention made of dung is in connection with sacrificial rites. The sacred law required that the dung, along with what parts of the animal were not burned on the altar, should be burned outside the camp (<a href="/exodus/29-14.htm">Exodus 29:14</a> <a href="/leviticus/4-11.htm">Leviticus 4:11</a>; <a href="/leviticus/8-17.htm">Leviticus 8:17</a>; <a href="/leviticus/16-27.htm">Leviticus 16:27</a> <a href="/numbers/19-5.htm">Numbers 19:5</a>). The fertilizing value of dung was appreciated by the cultivator, as is indicated by <a href="/luke/13-8.htm">Luke 13:8</a> and possibly <a href="/psalms/83-10.htm">Psalm 83:10</a> and <a href="/isaiah/25-10.htm">Isaiah 25:10</a>. Dung was also used as a fuel. <a href="/ezekiel/4-12.htm">Ezekiel 4:12, 15</a> will be understood when it is known that the dung of animals is a common fuel throughout Palestine and Syria, where other fuel is scarce. During the summer, villagers gather the manure of their cattle, horses or camels, mix it with straw, make it into cakes and dry it for use as fuel for cooking, especially in the winter when wood or charcoal or straw are not procurable. It burns slowly like peat and meets the needs of the kitchen. In Mesopotamia the writer saw it being used with forced draft to fire a steam boiler. There was no idea of uncleanness in Ezekiel's mind, associated with the use of animal dung as fuel (<a href="/ezekiel/4-15.htm">Ezekiel 4:15</a>). Figuratively: Dung was frequently used figuratively to express the idea (a) of worthlessness, especially a perishable article for which no one cares (<a href="/1_kings/14-10.htm">1 Kings 14:10</a> <a href="/2_kings/6-25.htm">2 Kings 6:25</a>; <a href="/2_kings/9-37.htm">2 Kings 9:37</a> <a href="/job/20-7.htm">Job 20:7</a> <a href="/psalms/83-10.htm">Psalm 83:10</a> <a href="/jeremiah/8-2.htm">Jeremiah 8:2</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/9-22.htm">Jeremiah 9:22</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/16-4.htm">Jeremiah 16:4</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/25-33.htm">Jeremiah 25:33</a> <a href="/zephaniah/1-17.htm">Zephaniah 1:17</a> <a href="/philippians/3-8.htm">Philippians 3:8</a> (the American Standard Revised Version "refuse")). Dunghill was used in the same way (<a href="/1_samuel/2-8.htm">1 Samuel 2:8</a> <a href="/ezra/6-11.htm">Ezra 6:11</a> <a href="/psalms/113-7.htm">Psalm 113:7</a> <a href="/isaiah/25-10.htm">Isaiah 25:10</a> <a href="/daniel/2-5.htm">Daniel 2:5</a>; <a href="/daniel/3-29.htm">Daniel 3:29</a> <a href="/luke/14-35.htm">Luke 14:35</a> <a href="/lamentations/4-5.htm">Lamentations 4:5</a>); (b) as an expression of disgust (<a href="/2_kings/18-27.htm">2 Kings 18:27</a> <a href="/isaiah/36-12.htm">Isaiah 36:12</a>); (c) of rebuke (<a href="/malachi/2-3.htm">Malachi 2:3</a>).
