Ezekiel 4:1-3

4:1

take <03947> [take.]

brick <03843> [a tile.]

[Lebˆbnƒh <\\See definition 03843\\>,] {levainah,} generally denotes a brick, and Palladius informs us that the bricks in common use among the ancients were "two feet long, one foot broad, and four inches thick;" and on such a surface the whole siege might be easily pourtrayed. Perhaps, however, it may here denote a flat tile, like a Roman brick, which were commonly used for tablets, as we learn from Pliny, Hist. Nat. 1. vii. c. 57.

Jerusalem <03389> [even.]

4:2

Lay ................ Post <05414> [lay.]

battering rams <03733> [battering rams. or, chief leaders.]

4:3

iron frying ......... iron <04227 01270> [an iron pan. or, a flat plate, or slice.]

sign <0226> [This.]
