The symbolic actions during the prophet's dumbness were testimonies to the past wickedness and chastisement of the house of Israel (the whole nation), and prophetic of a coming siege. They therefore intermediate between the siege of 2 Kings 24:10-16 at which time Ezekiel was carried to Babylon, and the siege of 2 Kings 25:1-11 eleven years later.
