Contextual Overview

1 And Yahweh spake, unto Moses, saying: 2 Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, saying - When any person, shall sin by mistake, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall do any one of them, - 3 If, the anointed priest, shall sin, so as to bring guilt upon the people, then shall he bring near for his sin which he hath committed a choice young bullock without defect, unto Yahweh as a sin-bearer. 4 And he shall bring in the bullock unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, - and shall lean his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slay the bullock before Yahweh. 5 And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, - and bring it into the tent of meeting; 6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, - and sprinkle of the blood seven times, before Yahweh, in front of the veil of the sanctuary. 7 Then shall the priest put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, - and, all the remainder of the blood of the bullock, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance of the tent of meeting, 8 And all the fat of the sin-bearing bullock, shall he heave up therefrom, - the fat that covereth over the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards; 9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is upon the loins, - and as for the caul upon the liver, upon the kidneys, shall he remove it: 10 just as it is heaved up from the ox of the peace-offering, - and the priest shall make of them a perfume on the altar of ascending-sacrifice,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood,.... Let out and received into a basin; this he did himself, and not another, for he offered for himself, and the blood was to make atonement for him:

and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation; out of the court where the bullock was slain, into the holy place, where were the vail that divided between the holy of holies, and the altar of sweet incense, after mentioned.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The treatment of the blood was special in the sin-offerings. In the inferior sin-offerings it was smeared on the horns of the altar of burnt-offering Leviticus 4:25, Leviticus 4:30, Leviticus 4:34, while in this offering for the high priest, and in that for the nation, the high priest himself sprinkled the blood seven times within the tabernacle and smeared it on the horns of the altar of incense Leviticus 4:6-7, Leviticus 4:17-18. The different modes of sprinkling appear to have marked successive degrees of consecration in advancing from the altar of burnt-offering to the presence of Yahweh within the veil.
