# put the sin of the house of Israel on it "symbolically bear the punishment for the sins of the Israelites" or "suffer by lying on your side because of their sin." # you will bear their iniquity "you will be guilty of their sin" or "you will be punished for their sin." Either meaning will be demonstrated "symbolically" by Ezekiel. # lie down against the house of Israel "lie facing the kingdom of Israel in a hostile manner"
