Contextual Overview
1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2"Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house. 3Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out and go from your place to another as they look on. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house. 4Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they look on. Then in the evening, as they look on, go out like those who go into exile. 5While they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.6And as they look on, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel." 7So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched. 8And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9"Son of man, hasn't the rebellious house of Israel asked you, 'What are you doing?' 10Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: 'This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.'
