Ezekiel 12:5 meaning and explanation

As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.

Ezekiel 12:5, Berean Standard Bible

Digging through the wall of his house and carrying his belongings out through the hole pictures the night escape of King Zedekiah and his people when Babylon breached the city, as 2 Kings 25 and Jeremiah 39 record.
