Ezekiel 43:18-27

18Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and splashing blood against the altar when it is built:

19You are to give a young bull as a sin offering to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who come near to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord.

20You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge and all around the rim, and so purify the altar and make atonement for it.

21You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.

22“On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull.

23When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.

24You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.

25“For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.

26For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it.

27At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
