Ezekiel 43:27 Summary

[Ezekiel 43:27 tells us that after a period of preparation and cleansing, the priests can start presenting offerings to God on the altar. This is a special moment when God says He will accept His people, which means He will be pleased with their worship. This is similar to what we see in Psalm 51:17, where God delights in a broken and contrite heart. As we come to God in worship, we can remember that He wants to accept us and be pleased with our offerings, just like a parent is pleased with a child's gift.]

I will accept you; be well-pleased with your persons, pardon your sins, smell a savour of rest in your thanksgiving, and own you with signal tokens of my favour and kindness; I will show my good-will and delight in you.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:27

Ezekiel 43:27 And when these days are expired, it shall be, [that] upon the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.Ver. 27. It shall be upon the eighth day.] The services of mortified men shall be accepted, on the eighth day especially, the Christian Sabbath, in the holy assemblies.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 43:27

18–27. Sacrifices and ceremonies by which the altar was consecrated and inaugurated The general purpose of the altar is to offer burnt-offerings upon and to sprinkle blood thereon. The statement in Ezekiel 43:19-20 is somewhat elliptical, the writer’s object being to advert specially to the difference between the sin-offering on the first day and that on the following days. Hence he describes the ritual of the sin-offering on the first day fully, omitting to refer to the burnt-offering, which he mentions only in connexion with the second and following days. And when in Ezekiel 43:25 it is said that a goat for sin-offering and a young bullock and a ram were offered for seven days, the difference between the sin-offering on the first day (a bullock) and that for the following six days (a goat) is not adverted to, the burnt-offering being the same all the seven days.
