EZEKIEL—NOTE ON Ezekiel 45:18 The purification ritual assigned for the new year in vv. Ezekiel 45:18 resembles the cleansing of the altar in Ezekiel 43:18. The Feasts of Passover (Ezekiel 45:21) and Tabernacles (v. Ezekiel 45:25) follow. In both cases, dealing with sin (v. Ezekiel 45:25) is essential to the feast. This represents a shift from the nature of Passover elsewhere in the OT, where it is a memorial celebration (Exodus 12:1; 2 Chronicles 30:1; 2 Chronicles 35:1).
