Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

thou shalt: This intimated that Zedekiah should steal out of the city in the twilight, carrying on his shoulders some of his property, with his head covered, not only as in distress but to escape detection. These prophecies, which were accurately fulfilled, are supposed to have been delivered in the sixth year of Zedekiah, five years before the taking of Jerusalem.

cover: 1 Samuel 28:8, 2 Samuel 15:30, Job 24:17

for I: Ezekiel 12:11, Ezekiel 4:3, Ezekiel 24:24, Isaiah 8:18, Isaiah 20:2-4

Reciprocal: Joshua 5:10 - kept the passover 2 Kings 7:5 - in the twilight Ezekiel 12:12 - General

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In their sight shall thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders,.... The bundle, packed up for his use and service, carried out through the wall dug by him. The Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions render it, as if he himself was to be carried out upon the shoulders of another, thus: "in their sight, upon the shoulders, thou shall be carried"; but the former sense is best:

[and] carry [it] forth in the twilight; signifying the same as before:

thou shall cover thy face, that thou see not the ground; or "land"; not the land of Israel, but the land of Chaldea, where the prophet was: this shows that great shame and confusion which should attend the king of Judah when he fled, and great fear and terror also; and likewise his regard to his eyes being put out by the king of Babylon; so that he saw not the land into which he was carried captive, Jeremiah 52:11;

for I have set thee [for] a sign unto the house of Israel; to show unto them by deeds, as well as by words, what should befall them; see Isaiah 8:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt cover thy face - A sign of mourning (see Ezekiel 24:17); also of Zedekiah’s blindness Ezekiel 12:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 12:6. Thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground — Referring to the blinding of Zedekiah: even the covering of the face might be intended to signify that in this way Zedekiah should be carried to Babylon on men's shoulders in some sort of palanquin, with a cloth tied over his eyes, because of the recent wounds made by extracting them. All the prophecies from this to the twentieth chapter are supposed to have been delivered in the sixth year of Zedekiah, five years before the taking of Jerusalem. How accurate the prediction! and how exactly fulfilled!
