Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
Prepare thee stuff for removing - rather, 'an exile's outfit;' the articles proper to a person going as an exile, a staff and knapsack, with a supply of food and clothing; so in Jeremiah 46:19, margin, 'instruments of captivity' -
i.e., the needful equipments for it. His simple announcements having failed, he is symbolically to give them an ocular demonstration, conveyed by a word-painting of actions performed in vision.
It may be they will consider - (Deuteronomy 32:29).
