The Lord ends by saying there is only one basic law of the temple: the entire temple area must remain holy. The Lord’s word both to the Israelites and to us continues through every age:“ . . . be holy, because Iamholy” (Leviticus 11:45; 1 Peter 1:15–16).
The Altar (43:13–27)
13–17 Here the altar of burnt offering is described (see Exodus 27:1–8 and comment).
18–27 In these verses the Lord explains the regulations governing the use of the altar. First the altar must be purified, made holy; atonement96 must be made for it (verses 20,22). This is to go on for seven days; then the altar will be cleansed, dedicated, and ready for ordinary use (verse 26). Then the people may offer their burnt offerings and fellowship offerings (see Leviticus 3:1–17), and be assured that they, the people, will be accepted by the Lord (verse 27).
