The meaning of Dung in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Used as manure (Luke 13:8); collected outside the city walls (Nehemiah 2:13). Of sacrifices, burned outside the camp (Exodus 29:14; Leviticus 4:11; 8:17; Numbers 19:5). To be "cast out as dung," a figurative expression (I Kings 14:10; 2Kings 9:37; Jeremiah 8:2; Psalms 18:42), meaning to be rejected as unprofitable. Used as fuel, a substitute for firewood, which was with difficulty procured in Syria, Arabia, and Egypt (Ezekiel 4:12-15), where cows' and camels' dung is used to the present day for this purpose.
