Ezekiel 43:18-27
Lexham English Bible
18 And he said to me, “Son of man,[a] thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘These are the statutes of the altar on the day when it is made,[b] to sacrifice a burnt offering on it and to sprinkle blood on it. 19 And you must give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, the ones coming near me,” declares[c] the Lord Yahweh, “to serve me, a bull, a calf[d] as a sin offering.
20 You must take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar,[e] and the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all around; thus you must purify it and make atonement for it. 21 And 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. 22 And on the second day you must offer a he-goat without defect as a sin offering, and they must purify the altar like[f] they purified with the bull. 23 When you are finished[g] from purifying, you must offer a bull, a calf,[h] without defect, and a ram from the flock without defect. 24 And you must bring them near before[i] Yahweh, and the priests must throw salt on them, and they must offer them as a burnt offering to Yahweh. 25 For seven days you must provide a goat of sin offering for the day and a bull, a calf,[j] and a ram from the flock without defect; you must provide them. 26 Seven days they must purify the altar and they must cleanse it and so they will consecrate it.[k] 27 And they will finish the days, and then[l] 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[m] the Lord Yahweh.

English Standard Version
18 And he said to me, (A)“Son of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the ordinances for the altar: On the day when it is erected for offering burnt offerings upon it and (B)for throwing blood against it, 19 you shall give to (C)the Levitical priests (D)of the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord God, (E)a bull from the herd for a sin offering. 20 And (F)you shall take some of its blood and put it on (G)the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the ledge and upon (H)the rim all around. (I)Thus you shall purify the altar and make atonement for it. 21 You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and (J)it shall be burned in the appointed place belonging to the temple, outside the sacred area. 22 And on the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and the altar shall be purified, as it was purified with the bull. 23 When you have finished (K)purifying it, you shall offer a bull from the herd without blemish and (L)a ram from the flock without blemish. 24 You shall present them before the Lord, and the priests (M)shall sprinkle salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25 (N)For seven days you shall provide daily a male goat for a sin offering; also, a bull from the herd and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be provided. 26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, and so consecrate it.[a] 27 And when they have completed these days, then (O)from the eighth day onward the priests shall offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your (P)peace offerings, and (Q)I will accept you, declares the Lord God.”
