Ezekiel 43:18–27

The Offerings

¹⁸And He said to me, “^aSon of man, thus says the Lord ¹God, ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer ^bburnt offerings on it and to ^csprinkle blood on it.

¹⁹‘You shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of ^aZadok, who draw ^bnear to Me to minister to Me,’ declares the Lord God, ‘a ^cyoung bull for a ^dsin offering.

²⁰‘You shall take some of its blood and put it on its four ^ahorns and on the four corners of the ^bledge and on the border round about; thus you shall ^ccleanse it and make atonement for it.

²¹‘You shall also take the bull for the sin offering, and it shall be ^aburned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

²²‘On the second day you shall offer a ^amale goat without blemish for a sin offering, and they shall ^bcleanse the altar as they cleansed it with the bull.

²³‘When you have finished cleansing it, you shall present a ^ayoung bull without blemish and a ^bram without blemish from the flock.

²⁴‘You shall present them before the Lord, and the priests shall throw ^asalt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.

²⁵‘^aFor seven days you shall prepare daily a goat for a sin offering; also a young bull and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be prepared.

²⁶‘For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they ¹consecrate it.

²⁷‘When they have completed the days, it shall be that on the ^aeighth day and onward, the priests shall ¹offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your ^bpeace offerings; and I will ^caccept you,’ declares the Lord God.”
