So, son of man, pack up your exile duffel bags. Leave in broad daylight with everyone watching and go off, as if into exile. Maybe then they'll understand what's going on, rebels though they are. You'll take up your baggage while they watch, a bundle of the bare necessities of someone going into exile, and toward evening leave, just like a person going off into exile. As they watch, dig through the wall of the house and carry your bundle through it. In full sight of the people, put the bundle on your shoulder and walk out into the night. Cover your face so you won't have to look at what you'll never see again. I'm using you as a sign for the family of Israel."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XII
The prophet proceeds, by a variety of types and parables, to
convince those of the captivity that their brethren who were
left behind to sustain the miseries of a seige and the insults
of a conqueror, would be in a much worse condition than they
who were already settled in a foreign land. In the beginning of
this chapter he foretells the approaching captivity of Judah by
action instead of words, 1-7.
He predicts particularly the flight, capture, captivity, and
sufferings of Zedekiah and his followers, 8-16,
compared with Jeremiah 52:11.
He is to eat his food with trembling and signs of terror, as an
emblem of the consternation of the Jews when surrounded by
their enemies, 17-20;
and then he answers the objections and bywords of scoffers and
infidels, who either disbelieved his threatening or supposed
the accomplishment of them very distant, 21-28.
Josephus (Antiq. xi. 10) tells us that Zedekiah thought the
prophecy of Ezekiel in the thirteenth verse inconsistent with
that of Jeremiah, (Jeremiah 34:3,)
and resolved to believe neither. Both, however, were literary
fulfilled; and the event convinced him that they were not
irreconcilable. Thus, blinded by infidelity, sinners rush on to
that detruction against which they are sufficiently warned.
