Scripture focus
Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ezekiel 5:2 — KJV
Midst of the city. That is, in the midst of the portrayal that Ezekiel had made (ch. 4:1). The third part that was burned symbolized those in the city who would perish of pestilence and famine (ch. 5:12). The third part to be smitten with a knife (better, “sword”), “about it,” that is, round about the city, represents those who would fall by the sword in their attempts to escape, as, for example, Zedekiah’s sons and the rest of the king’s retinue (Jer. 52:10). The third which is scattered signifies five small part of the people who, escaping destruction, would be scattered among the heathen. Even there the sword was to follow them (see Ezek. 5:12).
