    Ezekiel is commanded by God to pack his belongings as if preparing for exile and carry them out of his home under the cover of darkness as a sign to the rebellious people of Israel. Ezekiel does as he is commanded, digging through the wall with his hands to remove his belongings. God then tells Ezekiel that as he acted out exile, so too will the people of Israel go into exile for their sins and rebellion against God. The prince of Israel will also carry out his belongings in darkness and go into exile, dying in Babylon without seeing the land, while God scatters the prince's helpers to the winds with the sword. A few will survive famine, pestilence, and the sword to

    Ezekiel 12:1-16 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

    Judah’s Captivity Portrayed


    12 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 Mortal, you are living in the midst of a
    rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, who have ears to hear
    but do not hear; 3 for they are a rebellious house. Therefore, mortal, prepare
    for yourself an exile’s baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight; you
    shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps
    they will understand, though they are a rebellious house. 4 You shall bring out
    your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go out
    yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who go into exile. 5 Dig through
    the wall in their sight, and carry the baggage through it. 6 In their sight you
    shall lift the baggage on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark; you shall
    cover your face, so that you may not see the land; for I have made you a sign
    for the house of Israel.
    7I did just as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as
    baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own
    hands; I brought it out in the dark, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.
    8 In the morning the word of the LORD came to me: 9 Mortal, has not the house
    of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, “What are you doing?” 10 Say to
    them, “Thus says the Lord GOD: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem
    and all the house of Israel in it.” 11 Say, “I am a sign for you: as I have done, so
    shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.” 12 And the
    prince who is among them shall lift his baggage on his shoulder in the dark,
    and shall go out; he[a] shall dig through the wall and carry it through; he shall
    cover his face, so that he may not see the land with his eyes. 13 I will spread my
    net over him, and he shall be caught in my snare; and I will bring him to
    Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it; and he shall die
    there. 14 I will scatter to every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all
    his troops; and I will unsheathe the sword behind them. 15 And they shall know
    that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them
    through the countries. 16 But I will let a few of them escape from the sword,
    from famine and pestilence, so that they may tell of all their abominations
    among the nations where they go; then they shall know that I am the LORD.
