Consecrating the Altar
18 And He said to me, “Son of man, thus says the Lord God: ‘These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing aburnt offerings on it, and for bsprinkling blood on it.
19 You shall give aa young bull for a sin offering to bthe priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of cZadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,’ says the Lord God.
20 ‘You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
21 Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and aburn it in the appointed place of the1 temple, boutside the sanctuary.
