Ez 4, 1-17

1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: 2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about. 3 Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel. 4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. 5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. 7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. 8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. 9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. 10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. 12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth. 15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

Verš 16

Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

Lv 26:26 - And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

Iz 3:1 - For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

Ez 5:16 - When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

Ez 14:13 - Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

Verš 2

And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.

2Kr 25:1 - And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

Verš 5

For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

Nm 14:34 - After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

Verš 13

And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.

Oz 9:3 - They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

Ez 4,1 - V Babylone písali na mäkké tehly alebo hlinené tabuľky, ktoré potom dali usušiť, aby písmo bolo trváce. Na takúto tehlu mal Ezechiel načrtnúť obliehanie Jeruzalema.

Ez 4,2 - Útočné barany boli brvná, ktorými búrali múry opevnených miest.

Ez 4,3 - Ezechiel predstavuje Boha; železná misa, ktorú mal postaviť medzi mesto a seba, zvýrazňuje, že medzi Bohom a národom je železný múr, ktorý postavil národ svojimi hriechmi (porov. Iz 59,2).

Ez 4,4-8 - Ďalším náznakovým úkonom mal Ezechiel predpovedať, ako dlho bude trvať zajatie pre severné, Izraelské kráľovstvo a pre južné, Júdske. Ležaním na ľavom boku naznačoval prorok, ako dlho bude trvať trest zajatia Severnej ríše. Každý deň ležania značil rok trestu. Trest tejto ríše mal trvať 390 alebo podľa LXX len 190 rokov. Na pravej strane ležal prorok len 40 dní, trest Júdu mal podľa toho trvať 40 rokov. 40 je symbolické číslo pre dni utrpenia, napr. 40 dní potopy alebo 40 rokov exodu. Teda udanie rokov u Ezechiela je len približné a zaokrúhlené.

Ez 4,9-17 - Pokrmom a nápojom, ktorý má pri svojich náznakových úkonoch požívať, bude prorok zvýrazňovať biedu národa pri obliehaní mesta a v zajatí. Izraeliti mali zakázané siať na jednu roľu miešané zrno (Lv 19,19; porov. Dt 22,9–11). Isteže mali aj zakázané pripravovať chlieb z miešanej múky. Ezechiel mal primiešať aj múku zo strukovín, z ktorých sa chlieb nepekával. Počas obliehania a zajatia (LXX aj tu číta 190) bude taká bieda, že sa nebudú prizerať, aký chlieb jedia. No ani takého chleba nebude nadostač. 20 šeklov je 327 g. 1/6 hinu, asi 1 liter vody, je v Palestíne málo, tam pre horúčavy spotrebuje telo viac vody. Osúch upečený pod popolom z uschnutého ľudského výkalu bol naozaj odporný. Ezechiel bol kňazom, preto sa zhrozil každej rituálnej nečistoty. – Keď Pán vidí, aký je prorok zronený, zmierni svoj príkaz a dovoľuje mu osúch piecť na ohni zo suchého hovädzieho trusu. – Kým obliehaní majú chlieb, vydržia, pokrm im je oporou. Ale Boh v Jeruzaleme zlomil túto oporu (doslovne: "palicu") chleba, v meste bude neslýchaný hlad a smäd; porov. Jer 19,9; Nár 1,11.19; 2,11.12.20; 4,3 n.; 5,4.9.
