2

3
As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself m an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day n in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place n in their sight. o Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
4

5
In their sight q dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it.
6
In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you r a sign for the house of Israel."
7
