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:
