ezekiel 12:4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.

ezekiel 12:4 "And bring your baggage out by day in their sight, as baggage for exile. Then you will go out at evening in their sight, as those going into exile.

4. by day--in broad daylight, when all can see thee.
at even--not contradicting the words "by day." The baggage was to be sent before by day, and Ezekiel was to follow at nightfall [GROTIUS]; or, the preparations were to be made by day, the actual departure was to be effected at night [HENDERSON].
as they that go forth into captivity--literally, "as the goings forth of the captivity," that is, of the captive band of exiles, namely, amid the silent darkness: typifying Zedekiah's flight by night on the taking of the city (Jer 39:4; 52:7).

ezekiel 12:4 "And bring your baggage out by day in their sight, as baggage for exile. Then you will go out at evening in their sight, as those going into exile.
