Ezequiel 12:6

6 Ante sus ojos carga el equipaje sobre los hombros y sácalo en la oscuridad. Cúbrete el rostro para no ver la tierra, porque por señal te he puesto a la casa de Israel.

Ezequiel 12:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:6

In their sight shall thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders
The bundle, packed up for his use and service, carried out through the wall dug by him. The Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions render it, as if he himself was to be carried out upon the shoulders of another, thus: "in their sight, upon the shoulders, thou shall be carried"; but the former sense is best: [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight;
signifying the same as before: thou shall cover thy face, that thou see not the ground;
or "land"; not the land of Israel, but the land of Chaldea, where the prophet was: this shows that great shame and confusion which should attend the king of Judah when he fled, and great fear and terror also; and likewise his regard to his eyes being put out by the king of Babylon; so that he saw not the land into which he was carried captive, ( Jeremiah 52:11 ) ; for I have set thee [for] a sign unto the house of Israel;
to show unto them by deeds, as well as by words, what should befall them; see ( Isaiah 8:18 ) ( 20:2-4 ) .

6 Ante sus ojos carga el equipaje sobre los hombros y sácalo en la oscuridad. Cúbrete el rostro para no ver la tierra, porque por señal te he puesto a la casa de Israel.
7 Yo hice tal como se me había mandado. Saqué mi equipaje de día como el equipaje de un desterrado; y al atardecer cavé con mis manos a través del muro; salí en la oscuridad y cargué el equipaje sobre los hombros, ante sus ojos.
8 Y vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR por la mañana, diciendo:
