Context of Ezekiel 43:24

22“On the second day bring a male goat that has no defects as an offering for sin. Remove sin from the altar as you did with the young bull. 23When you finish removing sin, offer a young bull and a ram that have no defects. Offer them to the Lord. The priests must throw salt on them and offer them as burnt offerings to the Lord. 25Every day for seven days you must sacrifice a goat, a young bull, and a ram from the flock as an offering for sin. They must be animals that have no defects. 26For seven days the priests should make peace with the Lord at the altar, purify it, and consecrate it.
