A Multi-Day Consecration

Commentators explain that the consecration of the altar was a seven-day process. The phrase 'when you have made an end of cleansing it' refers not to the end of the entire week, but to the completion of the daily sin offering, which was then followed by a burnt offering. This meticulous, daily repetition emphasized the profound holiness required for worship.
