Context of Ezekiel 43:24

22‘And on the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish as a sin offering, and they shall cleanse the altar from sin as they cleansed it with the bull. 23When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a bull without blemish and a ram without blemish from the flock. You shall offer them before the Lord, and the priests shall throw salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord. 25For seven days you shall prepare a goat as a sin offering daily; also a bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish, shall be prepared. 26For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
