Ezekiel 43:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7-12

God does here, in effect, renew his covenant with his people Israel, upon his retaking possession of the house, and Ezekiel negotiates the matter, as Moses formerly. This would be of great use to the captives at their return both for direction and encouragement; but it looks further, to those that are blessed with the privileges of the gospel-temple, that they may understand how they are before him on their good behaviour. I. God, by the prophet, puts them in mind of their former provocations,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:10

Thou son of man, show the house ,.... That is, the house the prophet had seen measured, its gates, courts, and all belonging to it; which he was at first bid to observe, that he might show it to others; the house that the glory of the Lord was now come into, and had filled; and which is no other than the Gospel church in its perfection and glory in the latter day. This the prophet, who is addressed under his usual character in this book, is bid to show "to the house of Israel"; either to the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:10

Show the house to the house of Israel - Show them this holy house where the holy God dwells, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. Their name, their profession, their temple, their religious services, all bound them to a holy life; all within them, all without them, should have been holiness unto the Lord. But alas! they have been bound by no ties, and they have sinned against all their obligations; nevertheless, let them measure the pattern, let them see the rule by which they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7-12

Debate exists as to who the speaker in the seventh verse was, whether Jehovah or the man—some holding with Kliefoth, Ewald, Smend, and Currey, that he was Jehovah; others, with Havernick, Keil, Hengstenberg, and Schroder, that he was "the man;" and still others, with Plumptre, that it cannot be decided which he was. One thing is clear, that if "the man" was the speaker, his words and message were not his own, but Jehovah's. Yet unless the man had been the angel of the Lord—the view of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:10

Show (or, make known , i.e. publish the revelation concerning) the house to the house of Israel For this purpose the vision had been imparted to the prophet. That they may be ashamed of their iniquities . This told the reason why the vision of the house should be made known to Israel. And let them measure the pattern ; sum, number , or well-proportioned building . This explained how, by beholding the house, Israel would be led to repent, and be ashamed of her iniquities.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:10

The goodness that leads to repentance. The people of Israel are to see the new temple in order that they may be ashamed of their iniquities. The goodness of God in restoring the temple will induce them to look with new horror on their old sins. Thus God's goodness in life generally, and in the gospel of Christ, should lead men to see the evil of their ways and to repent of it. I. GOD 'S GOODNESS PRECEDES MAN 'S REPENTANCE . The full enjoyment of that goodness is not possible... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:10

Shame for sin. Shame is an emotion which is often misdirected. Men are ashamed sometimes of those things of which they ought rather to boast, whilst they boast of those things of which they ought to be ashamed. There is one habit of which men ought always to be ashamed—the habit of sinning against God. It was this which Ezekiel was directed to bring home to the hearts of his fellow-countrymen of the house of Israel. I. THE SIN OF WHICH A JUSTLY SENSITIVE NATURE IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:10-12

The law of the house. Through all the ceremonies and observances of the ancient temple one conspicuous lesson ran, viz. a lesson of purity. Every rite and sacrifice were vocal with this lesson. It was written on every altar. It was visible in the priestly dress. It was engraved on the high priest's miter. On every side men saw and heard the cardinal truth that God is holy, and that on earth he has a residence in order to make men holy. I. GOD 'S ABODE AMONG MEN IS THE ... read more
