And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
The prince that is among them - literally, that is in the midst of them, i:e., standing pre-eminent, on whom the eyes of all are cast, and "under whose shadow" they hope to live (Lamentations 4:20).
Shall bear upon his shoulder - namely, his "stuff for removing;" his equipments for his journey.
He shall cover his face, that he see not the grounds - (note, Ezekiel 12:6; the symbol in Ezekiel 12:6 is explained in this verse). He shall muffle face so as not to be recognized; a humiliation for a king.
