Yehezkiel 4:4

4:4 “Also for your part lie on your left side and place the iniquity ¹  of the house of Israel on it. For the number of days you lie on your side you will bear their iniquity.

Yehezkiel 4:6

4:6 “When you have completed these days, then lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah 40 days ²  – I have assigned one day for each year.

[4:4]  ¹ tn Or “punishment” (also in vv. 5, 6).

[4:6]  ² sn The number 40 may refer in general to the period of Judah’s exile using the number of years Israel was punished in the wilderness. In this case, however, one would need to translate, “you will bear the punishment of the house of Judah.”
