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 And in the second day thou shalt offer a buck of goats, which is without wem, for sin; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed (it) in the calf. (And on the second day thou shalt offer a goat-buck, which is without blemish, or without fault, for sin; and then they shall cleanse, or shall purify, the altar, like they cleansed it with the calf.)
23 And when thou hast [ful]filled that cleansing, thou shalt offer a calf of the drove, which calf is without wem, and a wether without wem of the flock. (And when thou hast finished that cleansing, thou shalt offer a calf from the herd, which calf is without blemish, or without fault, and a ram without blemish from the flock.)
24 And thou shalt offer those in the sight of the Lord; and (the) priests shall put salt on those, and shall offer those into (a) burnt sacrifice to the Lord (and shall offer them for a burnt sacrifice to the Lord).
25 By seven days, thou shalt make (ready) a buck of goats for sin, each day; and they shall offer a calf of the drove, and a wether unwemmed of sheep. (For seven days, each day for a sin offering thou shalt offer a goat-buck, a calf from the herd, and a ram from the sheep, all of them without blemish, or without fault.)
26 By seven days they shall [fully] cleanse the altar, and shall make it clean, and they shall [ful]fill the hand thereof. (And so for seven days they shall fully cleanse, or shall fully purify, the altar, and shall make it clean, and they shall consecrate it.)
