25 '1For seven days you shall prepare daily a goat for a sin offering; also a young bull and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be prepared.

Ezekiel 43:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:25

Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a
sin offering
By this it appears that the altar was seven days a consecrating and cleansing; and that on each day a goat was prepared and offered, typical of Christ, as before observed. Here Kimchi owns that this was not according to the order of Moses, or was done by those that came out of the captivity of Babylon; and is obliged to confess that there will be a change or an innovation in the order of sacrifices in time to come, or under the Messiah. They shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock
without blemish;
which, either one or all of them, should be offered up on each of the seven days; (See Gill on Ezekiel 43:23).

Ezekiel 43:25 In-Context

23 'When you have finished cleansing it, you shall present a young bull without blemish and a ram without blemish from the flock.
24 'You shall present them before the LORD , and the priests shall throw salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD .
25 'For seven days you shall prepare daily a goat for a sin offering; also a young bull and a ram from the flock, without blemish, shall be prepared.
26 'For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
27 'When they have completed the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,' declares the Lord GOD."
