Further, take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and emmer. Put them into one vessel and bake them into bread. Eat it as many days as you lie on your side: three hundred and ninety

Ezekiels's Bread
Yechezkel (Ezekiel) demonstrates to his listeners the dire straits the people from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) are in during the final Babylonian siege against the city. According to tradition, Yechezkel rations to himself inedible flour and inferior grains and limits his water in order to portray the austere conditions under which the people of Yerushalayim are suffering. As a final blow, these foods are prepared in an impure manner, something repulsive to the prophet-priest. Indeed, bread and water were very scarce during the Babylonian siege of Yerushalayim, as the Bible indicated elsewhere: "The tongue of the suckling cleaves to its palate for thirst. Little children beg for bread; none gives them a morsel." (Lamentations 4:4)

Your limbs are an orchard of pomegranates And of all luscious fruits, Of henna and of nard
Song of Songs 4:13 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

sh’-la-KHA-yikh par-DAYS ri-mo-NEEM IM p’-REE m’-ga-DEEM k’-fa-REEM im n’-ra-DEEM

A Mystical Fruit
The pomegranate is one of the seven special agricultural species of the Land of Israel. It has always been a symbol of beauty. Its unique shape appeared on the priestly garments and on the pillars at the entrance to the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) in Yerushalayim(Jerusalem). At its crown, the pomegranate has a six-pointed star, which makes it the only place the Magen David (Star of David) appears in nature. According to Jewish teaching, the numerous seeds in the pomegranates represent the 613 Biblical commandments.

I further observed all the oppression that goes on under the sun: the tears of the oppressed, with none to comfort them; and the power of their oppressors—with none to comfort them
Ecclesiastes 4:1 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

v’-shav-TEE a-NEE va-er-EH et kol HA-a-shu-KEEM a-SHER na-a-SEEM TA-khat
ha-SHA-mesh v’-hi-NAY dim-AT ha-a-shu-KEEM v’-AYN la-HEM m’-na-KHAYM u-mi-YAD o-sh’-kay-HEM KO-akh v’-AYN la-HEM m’-na-KHAYM

Who Will Comfort The Oppressed?
When this verse mentions "all the oppression that goes on," it refers to the suffering of the Jewish people in exile. Kohelet, the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes, observes that not only do people suffer in exile, but there is a lack of leadership to comfort them. The phrase "with none to comfort them" is repeated twice in this verse, hinting that they were lacking the leadership to teach them the two keys for redemption: repentance and prayer. First, the People of Israel will need a leader who will guide them towards repentance, for sincere repentance leads to redemption. Second, they need a leader who will show them how to pray effectively so that their prayers will be answered, and they will be returned to the Land of Israel.

Zevulun shall dwell by the seashore; He shall be a haven for ships, And his flank shall rest on Tzidon
Genesis 49:13 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

z’-vu-LUN l’-KHOF ya-MEEM yish-KON v’-HU l’-KHOF a-ni-YOT v’-yar-kha-TO al tzee-DON

Brotherly Love
Each of the twelve tribes of Israel received a specific portion of the Land of Israel, corresponding to that tribe's unique spiritual attributes. The sons of Zevulun (Zebulon), who were given a coastal territory as their inheritance, became successful sea merchants and entered into a special partnership with the tribe of Yissaschar. According to the arrangement they forged, members of the tribe of Zevulun would use some of their commercial profits to financially support the sons of Yissaschar, noted scholars who would devote their energies to full time Torah (Bible) study. In turn, they would share the spiritual revenue and heavenly reward of their joint ventures. Today as well, in many Israeli communities it is common practice for business people to seek out a spiritual partner supporting the learning of a Torah scholar in a mutually beneficial partnership.
