“‘You!
Son of man,
Describe
The temple
To the house of Israel!
Let them
Measure the pattern!
Let them
Be ashamed
Of their iniquities!’”
Yahweh told Ezekiel, the son of man, to describe this new Temple to the Israelites, the house of Israel. They should measure the patterns that he would lay out for them. They should also be ashamed of their iniquities. Clearly, Ezekiel was laying down the basics for the new Temple, just like Moses with his Mosaic laws.
