Context of Ezekiel 43:24

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. Bring them to me, the Lord. The priests will throw salt on them. Then they will offer them to me as a burnt offering. 25Each day for seven days, you must offer a male goat as a sin offering. You must also choose a young bull and a male sheep each day as sacrifices. They must all have nothing wrong with them. 26The priests will make the altar clean and pure on each of those seven days. That will make it ready for holy use.
