Ezekiel 43:12

"If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, its fashion, its exits, its entrances, its structure, all its ordinances, all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes transparency and clarity in divine instruction. God commands that if Israel is repentant, He will reveal the full details of His covenant—its structure, laws, and requirements—to ensure they understand and faithfully follow it.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

See alsoEzekiel 47:12. This is the law of the ordinance of the new sanctuary. After the consecration, God pronounces the “law” which is to govern the ordinances of the sanctuary (compare1 Kings 8:0), first briefly repeating the general rule that the place must be kept holy to the Lord (compareRevelation 21:27), and then proceeding to specific ordinances commencing with the altar.
