Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 12:4

4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

Having made all ready, as verse 3. thou shalt proceed to bear it away.

Not employ Servants and Labourers to do it, but thou thy self shalt do it.

Verse 3.

Verse 3.

This circumstance added to what was ver. 3. speaks the secresie, and shame with the danger of their coming out in the evening in the dark, when night may soon conceal them, and they gain a nights Journey before the Enemy hath notice to pursue.

Before 'tis quite night, that they, who should learn by this sign, may see it and consider it.
