Ezekiel 43:10-11

[10] Thou son  of man,  shew  the house  of Israel,  that they may be ashamed  of their iniquities:  and let them measure  the pattern.  [11] And if they be ashamed  of all that they have done,  shew  them the form  of the house,  and the fashion  thereof, and the goings out  thereof, and the comings  in thereof, and all the forms  thereof, and all the ordinances  thereof, and all the forms  thereof, and all the laws  thereof: and write  it in their sight,  that they may keep  the whole form  thereof, and all the ordinances  thereof, and do  them.

What does Ezekiel 43:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The Lord instructed Ezekiel to describe the temple that he had seen in his vision to the Israelites. It would so impress them with the glorious future that God intended to give them that they would feel ashamed of their iniquities. They should examine the plans of the future temple carefully because they would inspire obedience in the people. If the exiles responded positively to Ezekiel"s Revelation , they should study the vision carefully and conform to the instructions that accompanied it. Ezekiel was about to receive information about what the Israelites should do. So far the vision dealt with what they would see.
