Ezekiel 4:1-8 - Siege Of Jerusalem Illustrated On A Brick

¹ Thou therefore O son of man Take thee a tablet, and lay it before thee, - and pourtray thereon a city, even Jerusalem. ² Then shalt thou lay siege against it And bud up against it a siege-wall And cast up against it, a mound, - And set against it camps, And place against it battering-rams, round about. ³ Thou, therefore take time a pan of iron, and set it for a wall of iron, between thee and the city, - then shalt thou direct thy face against it and it shall come into siege and thou shalt lay siege to it, a sign, shall it be to the house of Israel.

⁴ Thou, therefore lie thou on thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it, - during the number of the days which thou shalt lie thereon, shalt thou bear their punishment. ⁵ I therefore have appointed thee the years of their punishment, by the number of days a hundred and ninety days, - so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. ⁶ And when thou hast ended these, then shalt thou lie, on thy right side. a second time, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah, - forty days, one day for each year, have I appointed thee. ⁷ Thus then unto the siege of Jerusalem, shalt thou direct thy face, with thine arm made bare, - so shalt thou prophesy against it. ⁸ And lo! I have laid upon thee-bands, - and thou shalt not turn thee from thy one side to thine other, until thou have ended the days of thy siege.
