Bible Comments

Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

Dig thou through the wall in their sight. As Zedekiah was to escape like one digging through a wall, furtively to effect an escape (Ezekiel 12:12).

Carry out - namely, "thy stuff" (Ezekiel 12:4).

Thereby - by the opening in the wall. Zedekiah escaped "by the gate between the two walls" (Jeremiah 39:4).

Ezekiel 12:5

5 Digb thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
