Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
 

12:4 as stuff for removing. Ezekiel was ministering primarily to Jewish exiles taken to Babylon in the first deportation, and many of these were still holding on to their compromise religion and were expecting to return to Judah soon. This “visual aid” carried out by Ezekiel was designed to make them realize that the entire nation was to be exiled and their land laid waste (Ezekiel 12:11,20).
