Ezekiel 43:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:24

And thou shalt offer them before the Lord
Upon the altar of burnt offering, which stood before the house or temple where Jehovah dwelt, ( Ezekiel 40:47 ) : and the priests shall cast salt upon them;
which was to be used in all sacrifices under the law, ( Leviticus 2:13 ) , this may denote the savoury doctrines and lives of the ministers of the Gospel, who thereby recommend the truths they deliver, concerning a crucified Christ, his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice, to others; see ( Matthew 5:13 ) : and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the Lord;
throughout the whole seven days of the consecration and cleansing of the altar, as follows:

Ezekiel 43:24 In-Context

22 On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram from the flock without blemish.
24 When you offer them before the Lord, the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.
25 Every day for seven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish.
26 Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so consecrate it.
