Ezekiel 12:7

12:7 So I did just as I was commanded. I carried out my belongings packed for exile during the day, and at evening I dug myself a hole through the wall with my hands. I went out in the darkness, carrying my baggage 1  on my shoulder while they watched.

Ezekiel 29:18

29:18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar 2  of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. 3  Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.

1 tn The words “my baggage” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied from the context.

2 tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).

3 sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.
