Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Dig thou through the wall.--This is a sub sequent action, as shown by Ezekiel 12:7. The wall was probably of adobe, sun-dried brick, the common building material of the country, and there was, therefore, no great difficulty in digging through it; but this way of entering the house indicates something of stealth and secrecy. He was to carry forth his goods openly through his door during the day, and then to re-enter at evening, and secretly to carry forth those things which he would not otherwise be allowed to take away.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewWhile they watch,לְעֵינֵיהֶ֖ם (lə·‘ê·nê·hem)Preposition-l | Noun - cdc | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountaindigחֲתָר־ (ḥă·ṯār-)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 2864: To force a, passage, as by burglary, with oarsthrough the wallבַקִּ֑יר (ḇaq·qîr)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7023: A walland carry [your belongings]וְהוֹצֵאתָ֖ (wə·hō·w·ṣê·ṯā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximout through it.בּֽוֹ׃ (bōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew Jump to PreviousBelongings Carry Dig Eyes Forth Hole Sight Thereby Wall Watch
