Ezekiel 43:18-22

18And he said to me, aSon of man, thus says the Lord God: These are the ordinances for the altar: On the day when it is erected for offering burnt offerings upon it and bfor throwing blood against it, 19you shall give to cthe Levitical priests dof the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord God, ea bull from the herd for a sin offering. 20And fyou shall take some of its blood and put it on gthe four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the ledge and upon hthe rim all around. iThus you shall purify the altar and make atonement for it. 21You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and jit shall be burned in the appointed place belonging to the temple, outside the sacred area. 22And on the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and the altar shall be purified, as it was purified with the bull.
