And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Ezekiel hears the voice speaking to him out of the house while the man like brass stands beside him in the act of measuring the house of God. The measuring is minute and complete, showing that every part is brought under God's exact standard. The whole limit of the pattern thus revealed is most holy.
The house is set before Israel in this measured form so that they will see their sins and measure themselves by its pattern. In this the vision teaches that God's law reaches to even the smallest acts and dealings of life. A righteous life of honest faithfulness builds a character that is measured by God's standard.
