Son of man; Ezekiel, who is called thus above eighty times in this book. Show: he could not lay a model before their eye, but he could, and this is required, describe it to them in all the parts. The house; temple, which he had seen, and exactly measured. To the house of Israel; to the rulers, prophets, and priests especially, not excluding others. That they may be ashamed of their iniquities; when they shall blush to see what glory their iniquities had ruined, how great losers they were by their sins: or else thus interpret the meaning of these things, And let the Jews know what a church God will erect among the Gentiles, that so the Jews may be ashamed of their iniquities, which provoked God to east them off, and to destroy their church and state. Let them measure the pattern; as thou declarest let them write down, delineate all, and then compute the whole, that they may fully comprehend it.
