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 shall dip his finger in the blood,.... The finger of his right hand, as Gersom observes, and so Maimonides r; for blood was always taken and sprinkled with the right hand, if done with the left it was wrong, according to the Jewish canons s and though it is only said the priest, and not that is anointed, as before, yet it seems to mean him and not another; though if a private priest did this, Gersom says, it would be right, and so Maimonides t:
and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord; a figure of the blood of Christ, called, in allusion to this rite, the blood of sprinkling; which being presented before the Lord, calls for pardon from him, and sprinkled on the conscience, speaks peace there, and perfectly cleanses from all sin, which the seven times sprinkling is a symbol of:
before the vail of the sanctuary: the words may be literally rendered, "the face of the vail of the sanctuary": as if the blood was sprinkled on the outside of the vail. Jarchi's note is,
"over against the place of its holiness, he directed (it) over against between the staves; the blood shall not touch the vail, but if it touches, it touches it;''
that is, it is no matter. And according to Maimonides u the blood of bullocks and goats burnt was sprinkled seven times upon the vail, which divided between the and the holy of holies. This typified the vail of flesh, whose blood gives boldness to enter into the holiest of all,

2. He put some of it on the horns of the altar of incense.
3. He poured the remaining part at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offerings, Leviticus 4:7.
