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.

The Offerings
18 And He said to me, “(A)Son of man, this is what the Lord [a]God says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer (B)burnt offerings on it and to (C)sprinkle blood on it. 19 You shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the descendants of (D)Zadok, who come (E)near to Me to serve Me,’ declares the Lord God, ‘a [b](F)bull as a (G)sin offering. 20 And you shall take some of its blood and put it on its four (H)horns and on the four corners of the (I)ledge, and on the border all around; so you shall (J)cleanse it and make atonement for it. 21 You shall also take the bull as the sin offering, and it shall be (K)burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
22 ‘And on the second day you shall offer a (L)male goat without blemish as a sin offering, and they shall (M)cleanse the altar from sin as they cleansed it with the bull. 23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a [c](N)bull without blemish and a (O)ram without blemish from the flock. 24 You shall offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall throw (P)salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25 (Q)For seven days you shall prepare a goat as a sin offering daily; also a [d]bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish, shall be prepared. 26 For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they [e]consecrate it. 27 When they have completed the days, it shall be that on the (R)eighth day and onward, the priests shall [f]offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your (S)peace offerings; and I will (T)accept you,’ declares the Lord God.”
