What Does Ezekiel 44:6 Mean?
Ezekiel receives his first prophetic commission within this vision: to speak directly to the rebellious house of Israel. The phrase 'let it suffice you' carries urgent reproof—enough of your abominable practices; the time for such violations must end.
This addresses the historical pattern of Israel's departure from covenant law. The future restoration will include cleansing; the old patterns of desecration and disobedience must cease before or during the renewal of the sanctuary.
