“Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. Dig: Heb. Dig for thee”
Ezekiel 12:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 12:5
"Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby." Ezekiel must dig through his house wall and exit through the hole—symbolizing escape attempts during siege. This dramatic action would be shocking and memorable. The wall-digging represents desperate measures during Jerusalem's siege when trapped residents tried breaching walls to escape. The public performance ("in their sight") ensures the message isn't missed.
