Ezekiel 43:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:22

And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats
without blemish for a sin offering
Jarchi observes, that this was not in the tabernacle, but ordered to be in future time by him that speaks; instead of this, another ram was appointed by the law, ( Exodus 29:15 Exodus 29:19 ) , this shows the ceremonial law to be changeable, and now abolished: this was typical of Christ, without spot and blemish, and yet figured by the goat, being made sin for his people: and they shall cleanse the altar,
as they did cleanse it with the bullock; (See Gill on Ezekiel 43:20).

Ezekiel 43:22 In-Context

20 You must take some of its blood and put [it] on {the four horns of the altar}, and the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all around; thus you must purify it and make atonement for it.

21 And you must take the bull, the sin offering, and you must burn it in the designated place of the temple outside of the holy place.

22 And on the second day you must offer a he-goat without defect as [a] sin offering, and they must purify the altar {like} they purified with the bull.

23 {When you are finished} from purifying, you must offer a bull, {a calf}, without defect, and a ram from the flock without defect.

24 And you must bring them near {before} Yahweh, and the priests must throw salt on them, and they must offer them [as] a burnt offering to Yahweh.
