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 Take some of its blood and smear it on the four horns of the altar that project from the four corners of the top ledge and all around the lip. That's to purify the altar and make it fit for the sacrifice.
21 Then take the bull for the sin offerings and burn it in the place set aside for this in the courtyard outside the Sanctuary.
22 "'On the second day, offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering. Purify the altar the same as you purified it for the bull.
23 Then, when you have purified it, offer a bull without blemish and a ram without blemish from the flock.
24 Present them before God. Sprinkle salt on them and offer them as a burnt offering to God.
