Verse Concepts
how it is besieged, how bulwarks and strong ditches are graven on every side of it. Describe also the tents, and a host of men round about it. Moreover, take an iron pan, and set it betwixt thee and the city instead of an iron wall. Then set thy face toward it, besiege it, and lay ordinance against it, to win it. This shall be a token unto the house of Israel.
