- HarryHirsch 4y agoFirst time I hear of that theory, do you have any references into the literature? I have always interpreted the passage literally, as a reenactment of what the citizens of Jerusalem would have to endure while under siege by the forces of King Nebukadnezar.

I am sure it is not India specific thing. The same cowpat is also used for to burn the offerings in the temples.
