The Lord did not charge Ezekiel to teach God’s people the law and the Ten Commandments as He had charged Moses. Rather, He told Ezekiel to show God’s house to the people (vv. 10-12). It was God’s intention to examine the living and conduct of the people of Israel according to His house, His habitation, as a rule and pattern. The work, behavior, and person of God’s people must match the temple of God according to its design, its pattern, its laws, and its statutes, as shown in detail in chs. 40—48. This means that all that we are and do must be measured, tested, by God’s house, the church (1 Tim. 3:15).
