Context
43:18 Then he said to me: “Son of man , this is what the sovereign Lord says : These are the statutes of the altar : On the day it is built to offer up burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it,
43:19 you will give a young bull for a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are descended from Zadok , who approach me to minister to me, declares the sovereign Lord .
43:20 You will take some of its blood , and place it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge , and on the border all around ; you will cleanse it and make atonement for it.
43:21 You will also take the bull for the sin offering , and it will be burned in the appointed place in the temple , outside the sanctuary .
43:22 “On the second day , you will offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering . They will purify the altar just as they purified it with the bull .
43:23 When you have finished purifying it, you will offer an unblemished young bull and an unblemished ram from the flock .
43:24 You will present them before the Lord , and the priests will scatter salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord .
43:25 “For seven days you will provide every day a goat for a sin offering ; a young bull and a ram from the flock , both without blemish , will be provided .
43:26 For seven days they will make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, so they will consecrate it.
43:27 When the prescribed period is over , on the eighth day and thereafter the priests will offer up on the altar your burnt offerings and your peace offerings ; I will accept you, declares the sovereign Lord .”
