They will purify the altar just as they did with the bull.When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock.You must present them before the Lord; the priests will throw salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.You will offer a goat for a sin offering each day for seven days. A young bull and a ram from the flock, both unblemished, must also be offered.For seven days the priests are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it. In this way they will consecrate itand complete the days of purification. Then on the eighth day and afterward, the priests will offer your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar, and I will accept you.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
