And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the temple and its pattern, its exits and its entrances, the whole form and all its ordinances and all its laws; write it down in their sight, that they may keep the whole form and all its ordinances and do them—indicating that the vision is to be transmitted in written form so the people can preserve it and understand the restored temple's structure and regulations. The condition ('if they are ashamed') suggests that genuine repentance is prerequisite for possession of the vision. The detail requirement (form, pattern, exits, entrances, ordinances, laws) suggests comprehensive transmission. The written form emphasizes permanence and authority. This verse establishes the didactic purpose of the vision and the requirement for written preservation.
