Ezekiel was a prophet and priest exiled to Babylon around 597 BC during the Babylonian conquest of Judah, where he received visions from God to warn the people of impending judgment for their idolatry and rebellion. In Ezekiel chapter 12, he is commanded to act out symbolic gestures, such as packing his belongings and digging through a wall, to represent the forced exile of the king and inhabitants of Jerusalem.
