Ezekiel 4

1 Under the type of a siege is shewed the time from the defection of Jeroboam to the captivity. 9 By the provision of the siege is shewed the hardness of the famine.

 4:1 “Now you son 1121 of man 120, get 3947 yourself a brick 3843, place 5414 it before 6440 you and inscribe 2710 a city 5892b on it, Jerusalem 3389.

 4:2 “Then lay 5414 siege 4692 against 5921 it, build 1129 a siege 1785 wall 1785, raise 8210 up a ramp 5550, pitch 5414 camps 4264 and place 7760 battering 3733c rams 3733c against 5921 it all 5439 around 5439.

 4:3 “Then get 3947 yourself an iron 1270 plate 4227 and set 3559 it up as an iron 1270 wall 7023 between 996 you and the city 5892b, and set 3559 your face 6440 toward 413 it so that it is under siege 4692, and besiege 6696a 5921 it. This 1931 is a sign 226 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478.

 4:4 ¶ “As for you, lie 7901 down 7901 on your left 8042 side 6654 and lay 7760 the iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478 on it; you shall bear 5375 their iniquity 5771 for the number 4557 of days 3117 that you lie 7901 on it.

 4:5 “For I have assigned 5414 you a number 4557 of days 3117 corresponding to the years 8141 of their iniquity 5771, three 7969 hundred 3967 and ninety 8673 days 3117; thus you shall bear 5375 the iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478.

 4:6 “When you have completed 3615 these 428, you shall lie 7901 down 7901 a second 8145 time 8145, [but] on your right 3233 side 6654 and bear 5375 the iniquity 5771 of the house 1004 of Judah 3063; I have assigned 5414 it to you for forty 705 days 3117, a day 3117 for each year 8141.

 4:7 “Then you shall set 3559 your face 6440 toward 413 the siege 4692 of Jerusalem 3389 with your arm 2220 bared 2834 and prophesy 5012 against 5921 it.

 4:8 “Now behold 2009, I will put 5414 ropes 5688 on you so that you cannot 3808 turn 2015 from one side 6654 to the other 6654 until 5704 you have completed 3615 the days 3117 of your siege 4692.

 4:9 ¶ “But as for you, take 3947 wheat 2406, barley 8184, beans 6321, lentils 5742, millet 1764 and spelt 3698, put 5414 them in one 259 vessel 3627 and make 6213a them into bread 3899 for yourself; you shall eat 398 it according to the number 4557 of the days 3117 that you lie 7901 on your side 6654, three 7969 hundred 3967 and ninety 8673 days 3117.

 4:10 “Your food 3978 which 834 you eat 398 [shall be] twenty 6242 shekels 8255 a day 3117 by weight 4946; you shall eat 398 it from time 6256 to time 6256.

 4:11 “The water 4325 you drink 8354 shall be the sixth 8345 part 8345 of a hin 1969 by measure 4884; you shall drink 8354 it from time 6256 to time 6256.

 4:12 “You shall eat 398 it as a barley 8184 cake 5692, having baked 5746 [it] in their sight 5869 over human 120 dung 1561 6627.”

 4:13 Then the LORD 3068 said 559, “Thus 3602 will the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 eat 398 their bread 3899 unclean 2931 among the nations 1471 where 834 8033 I will banish 5080 them.”

 4:14 But I said 559, “Ah 162, Lord 136 GOD 3068! Behold 2009, I have never 3808 been 2930 defiled 2930; for from my youth 5271 until 5704 now 6258 I have never 3808 eaten 398 what 5038 died 5038 of itself or was torn 2966 by beasts 2966, nor 3808 has any unclean 6292 meat 1320 ever entered 935 my mouth 6310.”

 4:15 Then He said 559 to me, “See 7200, I will give 5414 you cow’s 1241 dung 6832 in place 8478 of human 120 dung 1561 over 5921 which you will prepare 6213a your bread 3899.”

 4:16 Moreover, He said 559 to me, “Son 1121 of man 120, behold 2009, I am going to break 7665 the staff 4294 of bread 3899 in Jerusalem 3389, and they will eat 398 bread 3899 by weight 4948 and with anxiety 1674, and drink 8354 water 4325 by measure 4884 and in horror 8078,

 4:17 because 4616 bread 3899 and water 4325 will be scarce 2637; and they will be appalled 8074 with one 376 another 251 and waste 4743 away 4743 in their iniquity 5771.
