Context of Ezekiel 43:25
23When you finish removing sin, offer a young bull and a ram that have no defects. 24Offer them to the Lord. The priests must throw salt on them and offer them as burnt offerings to the Lord. Every 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. 27When those days are over, on the eighth day, the priests must sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept them, declares the Almighty Lord.”
