Ezekiel 4:1
1 Under the type of a siege is shewn the time from the defection of Jeroboam to the captivity.9 By the provision of the siege, is shewn the hardness of the famine. take.5:1-17; 12:3-16; 1Sa 15:27,28; 1Ki 11:30,31; Isa 20:2-4Jer 13:1-14; 18:2-12; 19:1-15; 25:15-38; 27:2-22; Ho 1:2-9; 3:1-5Ho 12:10a tile.[Lebêbnâh ,] {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. even.Jer 6:6; 32:31; Am 3:2
