Context — The Altar of Sacrifice
17The ledge shall also be square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, with a rim of half a cubit and a gutter of a cubit all around it. The steps of the altar shall face east.”
18Then He said to me: “Son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is constructed, so that burnt offerings may be sacrificed on it and blood may be splattered on it:
19You are to give a young bull from the herd as a sin offering to the Levitical priests who are of the family of Zadok, who approach Me to minister before Me, declares the Lord GOD.
20You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and all around the rim; thus you will cleanse the altar and make atonement for it. 21Then you are to take away the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the appointed part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.Cross References

Ezekiel 43:19 Summary
In Ezekiel 43:19, God instructs the people to give a young bull as a sin offering to the Levitical priests, who will minister before Him.

Just like the priests needed to be cleansed before ministering, we also need to come before God with a clean heart, as seen in Psalm 51:10 and Matthew 5:8. By understanding the significance of sin offerings, we can appreciate the depth of God's love and the importance of seeking forgiveness and purity in our relationship with Him.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:19
Thou shalt give; direct or command that it be given; for the prophet could not bestow such a gift on them. The priests the Levites; explaining who were meant by the priests. Zadok, who was put into Abiathar’ s room. See 44:15. To minister unto me: see . A young bullock; the sacrifice appointed, ,36, at the consecrating of the priests. For a sin offering; an expiatory sacrifice, to make an atonement for errors, and to reconcile the person that brought the sacrifice. New consecration and reconciliation, needful after so long an interruption of their ministration, and for such as never were before consecrated.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:19
Ezekiel 43:19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.Ver. 19. And thou shalt give to the priests.] All this is to be understood spiritually, as being figuratively spoken. A young bullock.] Together with a goat and a ram. All that are Christ’ s have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts, and are still doing at it.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:19
(19) Thou shalt give.—Ezekiel is not actually to do this, like Moses, as the appointed consecrator; but, as frequently in prophecy, he is told to do that which he foretells is to be done. Of the seed of Zadok.—See Note on Ezekiel 40:46. (Comp. also Ezekiel 44:15.) A young bullock.—In the case of the altar of the Tabernacle, the consecration began with anointing with oil (Leviticus 8:11), and this was a prominent feature of the service; but is here wholly omitted. The service began with the offering of a sin offering, which was always, according to the law, to be first offered when several kinds of sacrifice were to occur together. The propriety of this is manifest, since the first act of man’s approach to God must always consist of the confession of his sin.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:19
Verse 19. The priests - that be of the seed of Zadok] It was this Zadok that was put in the place of Abiathar, by Solomon, 1Kg 2:35, in whose family the priesthood had continued ever since.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 43:19
19. The phrase “saith the Lord” adds solemnity to the statement that only the sons of Zadok shall minister at the altar (Ezekiel 44:15 seq.).
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 43:19
The seed of Zadok - See Ezekiel 40:46 note.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:19
18-27. The consecration of the altar is here described. It is much like that in Solomon’s temple (1 Kings 8:63-66; 2 Chronicles 7:4-10) excepting that here there is no need of cleansing the house and
