Ezekiel 43:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou shalt take; appoint it to be taken. Of the blood thereof; of the slain bullock. Put it, not all, but some of the blood, on the horns of the altar, as Leviticus 4:30 prescribeth, and as Moses did, Leviticus 8:15. Of the settle, on which the altar stood, which was two cubits high, and set upon one of a cubit high from the ground. Upon the border: see Ezekiel 43:17. Cleanse and purge it; make it legally clean, that it may be fit for so sacred a use as this of sacrificing was.

Ezekiel 43:20

20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
