Ezequiel 43:22-27

22 E no segundo dia oferecerás um bode, sem mancha, para oferta pelo pecado; e purificarão o altar, como o purificaram com o novilho.

23 Quando acabares de o purificar, oferecerás um bezerro, sem mancha, e um carneiro do rebanho, sem mancha.

24 Trá-los-ás, pois, perante o Senhor; e os sacerdotes deitarão sal sobre eles, e os oferecerão em holocausto ao Senhor.

25 Durante sete dias prepararás cada dia um bode como oferta pelo pecado; também prepararão eles um bezerro, e um carneiro do rebanho, sem mancha.

26 Por sete dias expiarão o altar, e o purificarão; assim o consagrarão.

27 E, cumprindo eles estes dias, será que, ao oitavo dia, e dali em diante, os sacerdotes oferecerão sobre o altar os vossos holocaustos e as vossas ofertas pacíficas; e vos aceitarei, diz o Senhor Deus.

Ezequiel 43:22-27 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 43

The temple or house of God being measured, the worship of God in it is pointed out and observed in this and the following chapter; and which, though evangelical, is expressed in the language of the Old Testament. An account is given of the glory of the Lord returning to the house, and the way he did, and his taking possession of it, which the prophet was favoured with a view of, Eze 43:1-5, a promise is made of his continuance there, provided his people behaved as they should, Eze 43:6-9, an order is given to the prophet, to show them the form and fashion, the laws, orders, and ordinances of the house to them, to be observed by them, Eze 43:10-12, then follows the measuring of the altar of burnt offerings; which, though measured before in chapter forty, the dimensions are here given, Eze 43:13-17, and the chapter is concluded with directions about the consecration of it, Eze 43:18-27.
