Ezekiel 43:18–27

¹⁸And he said to me, “Son of man,^y thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it is made,^z to sacrifice a burnt offering on it and to sprinkle blood on it. ¹⁹And you must give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, the ones coming near me,” declares^a the Lord Yahweh, “to serve me, a bull, a calf^b as a sin offering.

²⁰You must take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar,^c and the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all around; thus you must purify it and make atonement for it. ²¹And you must take the bull, the sin offering, and you must burn it in the designated place of the temple outside of the holy place. ²²And on the second day you must offer a he-goat without defect as a sin offering, and they must purify the altar like^d they purified with the bull. ²³When you are finished^e from purifying, you must offer a bull, a calf,^f without defect, and a ram from the flock without defect. ²⁴And you must bring them near before^g Yahweh, and the priests must throw salt on them, and they must offer them as a burnt offering to Yahweh. ²⁵For seven days you must provide a goat of sin offering for the day and a bull, a calf,^h and a ram from the flock without defect; you must provide them. ²⁶Seven days they must purify the altar and they must cleanse it and so they will consecrate it.^{i 27}And they will finish the days, and then^j on the eighth day and beyond that the priests will offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, and then I will be pleased with you,” declares^k the Lord Yahweh.
