burn it . . . without the sanctuary— (Hebrews 13:11).
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.

Ezekiel 43:18-27
The sacrifices here are not mere commemorative, but propitiatory ones. The expressions, "blood" (Ezekiel 43:18), and "for a sin offering (Ezekiel 43:19, Ezekiel 43:21-22), prove this. In the literal sense they can only apply to the second temple. Under the Christian dispensation they would directly oppose the doctrine taught in Heb. 10:1-18, namely, that Christ has by one offering for ever atoned for sin. However, it is possible that they might exist with a retrospective reference to Christ's sufferings, as the Levitical sacrifices had a prospective reference to them; not propitiatory in themselves, but memorials to keep up the remembrance of His propitiatory sufferings, which form the foundation of His kingdom, lest they should be lost sight of in the glory of that kingdom [DE BURGH]. The particularity of the directions make it unlikely that they are to be understood in a merely vague spiritual sense.
Ezekiel 43:13-27
As to the altar of burnt offering, which was the appointed means of access to God.
