Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

They shall cleanse - By sprinkling the blood Ezekiel 43:18. Here "they" marks the act as that of the priests. Moses did his part before the priests were consecrated, and the seer could act through them.

and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock; See Gill on Ezekiel 43:20.
