Study note

Setting — The Lord commands Ezekiel regarding the ritual purification of the temple altar. The words — שִׁבְעַת (shiv.'At) fixes the duration, and חַטָּ֖את (cha.Tat) identifies the specific sin offering. The thread — This seven-day protocol parallels the consecration periods in Exodus 29:35, Leviticus 8:33, and Leviticus 8:35. Why it lands — The passage requires strict, daily compliance with a seven-day sacrificial schedule to cleanse the altar before worship proceeds.
