Commentary for Ezekiel 4:7

וְאֶל־מְצ֤וֹר יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ תָּכִ֣ין פָּנֶ֔יךָ וּֽזְרֹעֲךָ֖ חֲשׂוּפָ֑ה וְנִבֵּאתָ֖ עָלֶֽיהָ׃

And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it.

Rashi on Ezekiel

And to the siege of Jerusalem which is engraved on the brick, you shall direct your face; when you lie on your left side, the brick should be opposite you, and so too when you lie on your right.
