Ezequiel 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:10

Say thou unto them, thus saith the Lord God
In answer to their sneering question; or notwithstanding their stupidity and indolence, and in order to awaken them out of it: this burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem;
the present reigning prince in Jerusalem, King Zedekiah. The sense is, either that that burden of goods the prophet carried out on his shoulders had a regard to the king of Judah and his captivity, and was an emblem of it; or rather that the burden of prophecy, or that sorrowful calamity predicted by the above sign or type, had relation to that prince, and would be fulfilled in him; and so the Targum,

``upon the prince is the burden of this prophecy;''

in like manner Jarchi interprets it of prophecy: and all the house of Israel which [are] among them;
they were also concerned in it, and would be carried captive with their prince.

Ezequiel 12:10 In-Context

8 A la mañana siguiente, recibí este mensaje del Señor
:

9 «Hijo de hombre, esos rebeldes —el pueblo de Israel— te han preguntado qué significa todo lo que haces.

10 Diles: “Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: ‘Estas acciones contienen un mensaje para el rey Sedequías, en Jerusalén,
y para todo el pueblo de Israel’”.

11 Explica, entonces, que tus acciones son una señal para mostrar lo que pronto les sucederá a ellos, pues serán llevados cautivos al destierro.

12 »Hasta Sedequías se irá de Jerusalén de noche por un hueco en la muralla, cargando sólo lo que pueda llevar consigo. Se cubrirá el rostro y sus ojos no verán la tierra que deja atrás.
