Ezekiel 43:21-27

21 et tolles vitulum qui oblatus fuerit pro peccato et conbures illum in separato loco domus extra sanctuarium
22 et in die secunda offeres hircum caprarum inmaculatum pro peccato et expiabunt altare sicut expiaverunt in vitulo
23 cumque conpleveris expians illud offeres vitulum de armento inmaculatum et arietem de grege inmaculatum
24 et offeres eos in conspectu Domini et mittent sacerdotes super eos sal et offerent eos holocaustum Domino
25 septem diebus facies hircum pro peccato cotidie et vitulum de armento et arietem de pecoribus inmaculatos offerent
26 septem diebus expiabunt altare et mundabunt illud et implebunt manum eius
27 expletis autem diebus in die octava et ultra facient sacerdotes super altare holocausta vestra et quae pro pace offerunt et placatus ero vobis ait Dominus Deus

Ezekiel 43:21-27 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 43

The temple or house of God being measured, the worship of God in it is pointed out and observed in this and the following chapter; and which, though evangelical, is expressed in the language of the Old Testament. An account is given of the glory of the Lord returning to the house, and the way he did, and his taking possession of it, which the prophet was favoured with a view of, Eze 43:1-5, a promise is made of his continuance there, provided his people behaved as they should, Eze 43:6-9, an order is given to the prophet, to show them the form and fashion, the laws, orders, and ordinances of the house to them, to be observed by them, Eze 43:10-12, then follows the measuring of the altar of burnt offerings; which, though measured before in chapter forty, the dimensions are here given, Eze 43:13-17, and the chapter is concluded with directions about the consecration of it, Eze 43:18-27.
