1. “You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem.
2. Lay siege against it, build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it. Also set camps against it and plant battering rams against it all around.
3. Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city. Then set your face towards it. It will be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
