DUNG

Among 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 Eze 1:4-16. The use of dung for manure is intimated in Isaiah 25:10.
