Yechezkel 12:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:11

Say, I [am] your sign
Which represents you, and shows what will befall you: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them;
as he had carried out his stuff, and had removed it from one place to another, so they should be carried away out of their own land into a foreign country, as follows: they shall remove, [and] go into captivity;
the Babylonish captivity.

9 Ben adam, hath not Bais Yisroel, the bais hameri (the rebellious house), said unto thee, What doest thou?
10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith Adonoi Hashem; This massa (burden) concerneth the nasi [i.e. Zedekiah] in Yerushalayim, and kol Bais Yisroel that are among them.
11 Say, I am your mofet; just as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall be carried away into the Golus and go into captivity.
12 And the nasi that is among them shall bear [his gear] upon his katef (shoulder) in the twilight, and shall go forth; they shall dig through the kir (wall) to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not ha’aretz with the ayin (eye) [See 2Kgs 25:7].
13 My net also will I spread over him, and he shall be caught in My snare; and I will bring him to Bavel to Eretz Kasdim (Chaldeans); yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there [See 2Kgs 25:7].
