Context — Offerings and Feasts
16All the people of the land must participate in this contribution for the prince in Israel.
17And it shall be the prince’s part to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—for all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.
18This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without blemish and purify the sanctuary.
19And the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court. 20You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make atonement for the temple.Cross References

Ezekiel 45:18 Summary
This verse is talking about a special day when the Israelites would purify the sanctuary, which is a place where God's people worship and meet with Him. To purify the sanctuary, they would take a young bull without any flaws and use it as a sacrifice, similar to how Jesus Christ was a perfect sacrifice for our sins (1 Peter 1:19). This was an important step in preparing the sanctuary for worship and ensuring that the people's worship was acceptable to God (Malachi 1:6-14). By purifying the sanctuary, the Israelites were able to start the new year with a clean and holy heart, and we can learn from their example by seeking to purify our own hearts and minds before God.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the first day of the first month in Ezekiel 45:18?
The first day of the first month marks the beginning of the Hebrew calendar and is a significant day for purification and new beginnings, as seen in Exodus 12:2 and Leviticus 23:5.
Why is a young bull without blemish required for purification in Ezekiel 45:18?
A young bull without blemish is required because it represents a perfect and unblemished sacrifice, similar to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in 1 Peter 1:19, and is necessary for the purification of the sanctuary.

The purification of the sanctuary is a priestly responsibility, as seen in Ezekiel 45:19, and is necessary to maintain the spiritual purity and holiness of the people, as commanded in Leviticus 11:44-45 and 2 Corinthians 7:1.
What is the purpose of purifying the sanctuary on the first day of the first month?

Reflection Questions
- What does the concept of purification mean to me personally, and how can I apply it to my own life?
- How can I ensure that my own 'sanctuary' - my heart and mind - remains pure and holy before God?
- What role do I play in maintaining the spiritual purity of my community, and how can I support my leaders in this effort?
- In what ways can I participate in the purification process, just as the people of Israel were required to participate in the contribution for the prince in Ezekiel 45:16?

Thou shalt take.] Thou, O prince, shalt. A young bullock.] One, and no more. Ut unitas singularis sacvificii Christi intimaretur.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:18
(18) In the first month, in the first day of the month.—The rest of this and the first fifteen verses of the following chapter are occupied with the ritual of the sacrifices on certain special occasions. In each case the deviations from the Mosaic law are remarkable, as well as the omission of any mention of the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and of the Great Day of Atonement. Ezekiel, as a priest, must have been familiar with the law in these matters, and therefore the changes he introduces must have been intentional. Like the changes in the division of the land, they seemed designed to show that this was an ideal vision. No attempt was ever made to follow the arrangements here laid down. The Mosaic law prescribed (in addition to the burnt offerings and meat offerings) a sin offering, which was to be a he-goat (Numbers 28:15) for the first of every month; also on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Great Day of Atonement, two he-goats (one for the “scape-goat”) were to be offered. Of all these Ezekiel mentions only the sin offering for the beginning of the first month, and also for the seventh day of the same, of which the Mosaic law knows nothing; but he provides for these bullocks instead of goats. In the ritual of the blood he makes a corresponding change. The law gives no special directions for the sprinkling of the blood of the sin offerings on the first of each month, because they were included in the ordinary rule (Leviticus 4:25; Leviticus 4:30, &c.) of sprinkling upon the sides of the altar of burnt offering; only in the case of the sin offering for the high priest or for the whole congregation (when the victim was a bullock) was the blood brought within the Temple itself, and sprinkled seven times before the vail, and applied to the horns of the altar of incense. On the Day of Atonement it was carried into the Holy of Holies, and sprinkled upon and before the mercyseat.
All this is here changed. Some of the blood of these sin offerings (Ezekiel 45:19) is to be put upon the “posts of the house” (see Ezekiel 41:21), upon the “corners of the settle of the altar,” and “upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:18
Verse 18. Thou shalt take a young bullock - and cleanse the sanctuary.] There is nothing of this in the Mosaic law; it seems to have been a new ceremony. An annual purification of the sanctuary may be intended.
