Context — The Altar of Sacrifice
23When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.
24You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the LORD.
25For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished.
26For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; so they shall consecrate it. 27At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Lord GOD.’”Cross References

Ezekiel 43:25 Summary
[Ezekiel 43:25 is talking about how to make things right with God after a time of sin. It says to provide a male goat every day for seven days as a sin offering, and also a young bull and a ram that have no defects. This is like what is described in the book of Leviticus, where it explains how to make atonement for sin (Leviticus 4:13-21). The reason for these offerings is to show that God wants us to be holy and perfect, just like the animals that are offered (Leviticus 1:3). By providing these offerings, the people are preparing themselves and the altar to be used for worship and to be accepted by God (Ezekiel 43:27).]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the male goat provided daily for a sin offering in Ezekiel 43:25?
The male goat provided daily for a sin offering represents the need for continuous atonement and cleansing from sin, as seen in the book of Leviticus, specifically Leviticus 4:13-21, which describes the sin offering ritual.
Why are the young bull and ram required to be unblemished in Ezekiel 43:25?
The requirement for the young bull and ram to be unblemished symbolizes the perfection and holiness of God, as mentioned in Leviticus 1:3, where it is written that the burnt offering must be a male without blemish.
How does the provision of these offerings relate to the consecration of the altar in Ezekiel 43:26?
The provision of the male goat, young bull, and ram in Ezekiel 43:25 is a necessary step in the consecration process of the altar, as it prepares the way for the priests to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, as described in Ezekiel 43:26, and ultimately for the acceptance of the people's offerings by God, as stated in Ezekiel 43:27.
What is the duration and purpose of these offerings in Ezekiel 43:25?
The offerings are to be provided for seven days, as stated in Ezekiel 43:25, with the purpose of purifying and consecrating the altar, the priests, and the people, so that from the eighth day onwards, the priests can present the people's burnt offerings and peace offerings, and God will accept them, as declared in Ezekiel 43:27.
Reflection Questions
- What does the daily provision of a male goat for a sin offering reveal about God's desire for His people's relationship with Him?
- How does the requirement for unblemished animals relate to our own pursuit of holiness and purity in our walk with God?
- In what ways can we apply the principle of continuous atonement and cleansing from sin, as represented by the daily sin offering, to our personal lives and relationship with God?
- What does the consecration of the altar and the provision of these offerings teach us about the importance of preparing our hearts and lives for worship and service to God?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 43:25
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering,.... By this it appears that the altar was seven days a consecrating and cleansing; and that on each day a goat was prepared and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 43:25
And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:25
By this it appears that there were seven days appointed for consecrating altar and priests, and that either these three sacrifices were every day of the seven offered up, and their blood sprinkled on the altar, or at least the young bullock every day, and one goat or one ram with it: the word here is copulative, but possibly the sense disjunctive, for so this particle is often used.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:25
Ezekiel 43:25 Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat [for] a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.Ver. 25. Every day a goat.] Mortification must be a Christian’ s daily practice.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:25
Verse 25. Seven days shalt thou prepare] These are, in general, ordinances of the LAW; and may be seen by consulting the parallel passages. All these directions are given that they might follow them, when they should be put in possession of their own land. For in several cases the prophet enters into particulars, as if he had supposed that the book of the law had perished.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 43:25
25. The statement is somewhat general; strictly the he-goat was offered only on six days (Ezekiel 43:19), but the burnt-offering was the same all the seven.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:25
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
