^{26 Ref} Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.

^{27 Ref} 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.
