Ezekiel 43:10

French (La Sainte Bible par Louis Segond 1910)

Toi, fils de l'homme, montre ce temple à la maison d'Israël; qu'ils en mesurent le plan, et qu'ils rougissent de leurs iniquités.

Que signifie ce verset ?

Ezekiel is told by God to show the plan of the temple to the people of Israel, so they can see how they have not lived up to God's standards. They should measure the plan carefully to understand God's expectations.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine you built a really cool treehouse, and your parents asked you to show your friends how to build one just like it. The goal is for your friends to look at the plan and realize they need to follow the rules more carefully, just like God is asking Ezekiel to do with the people of Israel.
