The completion of the days refers to the 390 days he spent lying on his left side, symbolizing the years of Israel's sin. The Hebrew root for "completed" (כָּלָה, kalah) implies fulfillment or bringing to an end. This completion signifies a divine order and the meticulous nature of God's plans, emphasizing His sovereignty and the precision of His judgments.lie down again Ezekiel is instructed to continue his symbolic act by lying down again, this time on his right side. The act of lying down is a prophetic gesture, a physical manifestation of bearing the burden of sin. The Hebrew verb "lie down" (שָׁכַב, shakab) often connotes rest or submission, indicating Ezekiel's obedience to God's command and the weight of the prophetic message he carries.but on your right side The right side is significant in biblical symbolism, often associated with strength, favor, and authority. By lying on his right side, Ezekiel represents the house of Judah, which, despite its favored status, is not exempt from judgment. This act underscores the impartiality of God's justice and the accountability of all His people.and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah To "bear the iniquity" (נָשָׂא עָוֹן, nasa avon) is to carry the burden of sin, a concept deeply rooted in the sacrificial system where sins were symbolically transferred to a scapegoat. Ezekiel's action prefigures the ultimate bearing of iniquity by Christ, who took upon Himself the sins of humanity. The "house of Judah" refers specifically to the southern kingdom, highlighting that both Israel and Judah are subject to divine scrutiny.I have assigned to you forty days The number forty is significant in Scripture, often associated with periods of testing, trial, and judgment, such as the forty years in the wilderness or Jesus' forty days of fasting. The assignment of forty days to Ezekiel is a symbolic representation of the forty years of Judah's iniquity, emphasizing the completeness and thoroughness of God's judgment.a day for each year This phrase establishes the prophetic principle of a day representing a year, a concept seen elsewhere in Scripture (e.g., <a href="/numbers/14-34.htm">Numbers 14:34</a>). It underscores the precision of God's prophetic timeline and His meticulous attention to the moral and spiritual history of His people. This principle serves as a reminder of the long-suffering nature of God, who provides ample time for repentance and reconciliation.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 6. - Each day for a year.
