1 And thou son of man, take thee a tile and set it before thee and portray thereon the city Jerusalem;
2 and thou shalt lay siege to it and build mounts against it and throw up a circumvallation around it and pitch camps against it and arrange the towers for engines round about.
3 Then take thee an iron pan and place it as an iron wall between thee and the city and set thy face against it and it shall be besieged and thou shalt besiege it. This is a sign for the children of Israel.
4 And thou shalt lie on thy left side and lay on it the iniquities of the house of Israel. According to the number of the hundred and fifty days which thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquities.
5 Now I have given thee their iniquities to the number of a hundred and ninety days. So when thou hast taken the iniquities of the house of Israel and finished them,
6 thou shalt lie on thy right side and bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days. I have given thee a day for a year.
7 Therefore thou shalt prepare thy face for the siege of Jerusalem and strengthen thine arm and prophesy against it.
