Ezekiel 4:1-3

Expanded Bible

The Map of Jerusalem

4 “Now, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], get yourself a brick, put it in front of you, and ·draw [inscribe; engrave] ·a map [^Lthe city] of Jerusalem on it. ² Then ·surround it with an army [lay a siege against it]. Build ·battle [siege] works against the city and a ·dirt road to the top of the city walls [siege ramp/mound against it]. Set up camps around it, and put ·heavy logs in place to break down the walls [battering rams all around]. ³ Then get yourself an iron ·plate [pan] and set it up like an iron wall between you and the city. Turn your face toward the city ·as if to attack it [or and it will be under siege] and then ·attack [besiege it]. This is a sign to [^Lthe house of] Israel.
