offerings for their kings at their deaths.
Now let them put away their
whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Now let them remove far from Me their
prostitution and the funeral
offerings for their kings, and I will dwell among them
forever.
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to
offer burnt
offerings thereon, and to
sprinkle blood
thereon.
Then 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
sprinkled on it:
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.
You 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.
Thou shalt take the
bullock also of the sin
offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
Then 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.
And on the second day thou shalt
offer a
kid of the goats without
blemish for a sin
offering; and they shall
cleanse the altar, as they did
cleanse it with the
bullock.
On the second day you are to present an
unblemished male goat as a sin
offering, and the altar is to be
cleansed as it was with the bull.
And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
You must present them before the LORD; the priests are to
sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt
offering to the LORD.
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.
For 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.
And when these days are
expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt
offerings upon the altar, and your peace
offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
At 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.’”
