Ezekiel 12:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:1

The word of the Lord came unto me, saying.
] The word of prophecy, as the Targum; the vision of the cherubim being over, this, very likely, immediately followed upon the former; though the exact time of the prophecy cannot be fixed, because the date is not given; it must be between the sixth month of the sixth year of Jehoiachin's captivity, ( Ezekiel 8:1 ) ; and the fifth month of the seventh year, ( Ezekiel 20:1 ) .

Ezekiel 12:1 In-Context

1 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don't see, who have ears to hear, and don't hear; for they are a rebellious house.

3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare you stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and you shall remove from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

4 You shall bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing; and you shall go forth yourself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.

5 Dig you through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
