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.

22 On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

23 When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram from the flock without blemish.

24 When you offer them before the Lord, ^athe priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.

25 Every day for ^aseven days you shall prepare a goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish.

26 Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so¹ consecrate it.

27 ^aWhen these days are over it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar; and I will ^baccept you,’ says the Lord God.”
