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 are finished} from purifying, you must offer a bull, {a calf}, without defect, and a ram from the flock without defect.

24 And you must bring them near {before} Yahweh, and the priests must throw salt on them, and they must offer them [as] a burnt offering to Yahweh.

25 [For] seven days you must provide a goat of sin offering for the day and a bull, {a calf}, and a ram from the flock without defect; you must provide [them].

26 Seven days they must purify the altar and they must cleanse it and [so] {they will consecrate it}.

27 And they will finish the days, {and then} on the eighth day and beyond [that] the priests will offer on the altar your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, and [then] I will be pleased with you," {declares} the Lord Yahweh.
