Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 43:20

"And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it." — Ezekiel 43:20 (ASV)

Take of the blood thereof.— Compare Exodus 29:12, Leviticus 8:15, Hebrews 9:18, and Hebrews 9:22. Nothing is said here of pouring the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar, as required in the law, and nothing of burning the fat on the altar, because the prophet throughout supposes the ritual of the sacrifices to be well known, and only mentions a few particulars to indicate the whole, as well as a few others now introduced, peculiar to the new ceremonial.
