The "same thing" indicates a repetition of a purification or atonement ritual, which is detailed earlier in the chapter. The seventh day of the month is significant in the Hebrew calendar, often associated with rest and completion, echoing the Sabbath principle. This practice underscores the importance of regular spiritual cleansing and the maintenance of holiness within the community.<p><b>for anyone who strays unintentionally or in ignorance</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the provision for sins committed without intent or knowledge. In the Mosaic Law, there were distinctions between intentional and unintentional sins, with different sacrificial requirements (<a href="/leviticus/4-2.htm">Leviticus 4:2</a>, <a href="/numbers/15-22.htm">Numbers 15:22-29</a>). This reflects God's justice and mercy, acknowledging human fallibility while providing a means for restoration. It emphasizes the need for awareness and repentance, even for sins committed unknowingly, pointing to the comprehensive nature of God's provision for sin.<p><b>In this way you will make atonement for the temple</b><br>Atonement for the temple signifies the purification of the sacred space, ensuring it remains holy and set apart for God's presence. The temple, as the dwelling place of God among His people, required regular cleansing to maintain its sanctity. This act of atonement is a type of Christ, who is the ultimate atonement for sin (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-14</a>). The temple's cleansing foreshadows the cleansing of believers, who are now the temple of the Holy Spirit (<a href="/1_corinthians/6-19.htm">1 Corinthians 6:19</a>).

Yet it is added, "so shall ye reconcile the house," more literally, make an atonement for the house; and the question has therefore been raised whether this offering on the seventh day was still for the purification of the sanctuary or for the sins of the people. The answer to this question must be sought in the sacrifices of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16), which these days seem intended to replace. These were very distinctly for the sins of the priests and the people, and at the same time for the tabernacle. The one involved the other, and the holy place required purification because of the sins of "the holy people" among whom it was placed.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/45.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 20.</span> - The same ceremony should be repeated on the <span class="cmt_word">seventh day of the month</span>, not on <span class="accented">the first day of the seventh month</span>, <span class="accented">as</span> Smend proposes, in accordance with the <span class="greek">λήψῃ</span>, and on the ground that "the seventh day of (the same) mouth" would have been in Hebrew <span class="hebrew">בְּשִׁבְעָה לֶחֹדֶשׁ</span>, as in <a href="/ezekiel/1-1.htm">Ezekiel 1:1</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/30-20.htm">Ezekiel 30:20</a>; at the same time admitting that <span class="hebrew">בַּחֹדֶשׁ</span> is sometimes used (<a href="/numbers/10-11.htm">Numbers 10:11</a>), though not (except in this verse) by Ezekiel.
