Context of Ezekiel 43:21

19You must give a young bull to the priests to offer as a sacrifice to me. The priests must belong to Zadok's family in the tribe of Levi. They are the only men who can come near to me to serve me. That is what I, the Almighty Lord, say. 20You will take some of the bull's blood and put it on the four horns on the top of the altar. Also put some blood on the corners of the middle part of the altar. And put some on the border around the edge of the altar. Do that to make the altar clean and pure for me. You must take the bull to burn as a sin offering. Burn it in the proper place in the temple yard, outside the temple building. 22The next day, choose a male goat that has nothing wrong with it. Offer it as a sin offering. Use its blood to make the altar clean and pure, as you did with the bull's blood. 23After you have done that, choose a young bull and a male sheep that have nothing wrong with them.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 43:21

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 21In the appointed place of the house - A place within the temple-court, but “without the sanctuary” properly so called, that is to say, without the temple and inner court. This was probably the “separate place” (see Ezekiel 41:12).Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 18-21The new altar had to be consecrated (set apart for holy use) before it could be used. On the first day, the priests were to offer a young bull as a sin offering. They were to put its blood on the horns and corners of the altar. This act made the altar ready for holy service. After this, they burned the body of the sin offering outside the sacred area. This was the same practice used with the tabernacle (compare Leviticus 4:11–12).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-2713-27. As to the altar of burnt offering, which was the appointed means of access to God.Read the comment
