And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
After you're done with that, flip over and lie on your right side for 40 days to represent Judah's guilt. I'm having you do this where each day you lie there stands for a whole year of their mess.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's asking Ezekiel to literally embody the weight of his people's mistakes — one day for each year of consequences.
