Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing,.... Or, "vessels of captivity" s, such as persons take along with them when they go a journey, or into a far country; such as a staff, scrip, purse, shoes, c. or household goods such as tables, chairs, and the like, which are removed when a person goes from one house to another; by which sign they of the captivity were to be taught that Zedekiah and the people of the Jews should in like manner be carried captive into Babylon; which they were not willing to believe, and the false prophets had told them the contrary:
and remove by day in their sight; be carrying the stuff out, day by day, several days running, as Jarchi from Menachem interprets it; that they may see and take notice of it, and ask the reason of it; which, when known, they might send to their correspondents at Jerusalem, and acquaint them with it:
and thou shall remove from thy place to another place in their sight; from the house in which he dwelt, to another house at some distance; yet so as to be seen by them, both from whence and whither he moved:
it may be they will consider; or "see" t; make use of their eyes, and of their understandings, and think better of things. The Targum is,
"perhaps they will fear;''
the Lord, and regard his prophets, and be afraid of his judgments:
though they [be] a rebellious house; such who are the most obstinate may be reclaimed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Stuff - Raiment, vessels, and the like. The âremovingâ was to be of the kind that accompanied exile. The whole account of this transaction marks it as a real act. The prophet was to be âa signâ to his countrymen, and the âexilesâ as well as those that remained in Judaea had need to be taught this lesson, for though themselves far away, they looked to Jerusalem as their home, and were scarcely less eager for its safety than the inhabitants themselves.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 12:3. Prepare thee stuff for removing — Get carriages to transport thy goods to another place; signifying by this the captivity that was at hand.
