Ezekiel 12:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:8

And in the morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying.
] That is, in the morning after he had done all the above things commanded him; explaining the meaning of them, and showing to whom they belonged.

Ezekiel 12:8 In-Context

6 In full sight of the people, put the bundle on your shoulder and walk out into the night. Cover your face so you won't have to look at what you'll never see again. I'm using you as a sign for the family of Israel."

7 I did exactly as he commanded me. I got my stuff together and brought it out in the street where everyone could see me, bundled it up the way someone being taken off into exile would, and then, as the sun went down, made a hole in the wall of the house with my hands. As it grew dark and as they watched, I left, throwing my bundle across my shoulders.

8 The next morning God spoke to me:

9 "Son of man, when anyone in Israel, that bunch of rebels, asks you, 'What are you doing?'

10 Tell them, 'God, the Master, says that this Message especially concerns the prince in Jerusalem - Zedekiah - but includes all the people of Israel.'
