Context of Ezekiel 43:11

9Now they must be faithful to me. They must no longer worship other gods. The must not give honour to the graves of their kings. If they stop doing these things, I will live among them for ever. 10Son of man, you must describe the temple to Israel's people. It should make them ashamed of their sins. They must study the plan of the temple. Then they will be ashamed of everything that they have done. Explain the temple's plan to them. Describe its shape, its entrances, and everything about it. Explain its rules and its laws. You must write all this down while they watch you. Then they can study the temple's plan and they can obey its rules. 12This is the most important law about the temple: All the top of the mountain around the temple will be most holy. 13This is the size of the altar. There is a hole, 50 centimetres deep and 50 centimetres wide, all around the altar. There is a border around its outside edge, 25 centimetres high.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11And if they be ashamed - If, in a spirit of true repentance, they acknowledge their past transgressions, and purpose in his help never more to offend their God, then teach them every thing that concerns my worship, and their profiting by it.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-11At this point, God explained the purpose of the temple vision. Ezekiel was not the first person to receive a detailed plan for a sanctuary from God (see Exodus 25–40). This vision was not meant to begin a future building project after the people returned to their land. Instead, it was a message for the people living in Ezekiel’s own time. As they carefully studied the plan of the temple, they were meant to recognize their sin. They were to feel deep…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-27Everything was now ready for His reception. As the Shekinah glory was the peculiar distinction of the old temple, so it was to be in the new in a degree as much more transcendent as the proportions of the new exceeded those of the old. The fact that the Shekinah glory was not in the second temple proves that it cannot be that temple which is meant in the prophecy. 2. the way of the east--the way whereby the glory had departed (Eze 11:22, 23), and rested…Read the comment
