The priest's role in this process highlights the mediatory function between God and the people. Sprinkling blood on the altar's side signifies purification and consecration, setting apart the altar for holy purposes. This act foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the remission of sins, fulfilling the requirements of the law (<a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22</a>). The altar, located in the Tabernacle's outer court, was central to Israelite worship, symbolizing God's presence and the need for atonement.<p><b>while the rest of the blood is drained out at the base of the altar</b><br>The draining of the remaining blood at the altar's base signifies the complete offering of life, as blood represents life itself (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>). This act underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of a life given to atone for it. The base of the altar, where the blood was poured, can be seen as a place of cleansing and renewal, pointing to the foundational role of sacrifice in maintaining the covenant relationship with God. This practice prefigures the totality of Christ's sacrifice, where His blood was poured out for the forgiveness of sins (<a href="/matthew/26-28.htm">Matthew 26:28</a>).<p><b>It is a sin offering.</b><br>The sin offering, or "ḥaṭṭā't" in Hebrew, was instituted to atone for unintentional sins and restore the sinner to fellowship with God. This offering emphasizes the holiness of God and the gravity of sin, which separates humanity from Him. The sin offering is distinct from other offerings, such as the burnt offering or peace offering, as it specifically addresses the need for purification from sin. In the New Testament, Jesus is identified as the ultimate sin offering, who bore the sins of the world (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-21.htm">2 Corinthians 5:21</a>), fulfilling the typology of the Old Testament sacrifices and providing a once-for-all atonement (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/priest.htm">Priest</a></b><br>The individual responsible for performing the sacrificial rituals, acting as a mediator between the people and God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/altar.htm">Altar</a></b><br>A sacred place where sacrifices are offered to God, symbolizing His presence and the place of atonement.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/sin_offering.htm">Sin Offering</a></b><br>A specific type of sacrifice made to atone for unintentional sins, emphasizing the need for purification and reconciliation with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>Sin requires atonement, and the detailed instructions for the sin offering underscore the gravity of sin in God's eyes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_priest.htm">The Role of the Priest</a></b><br>The priest's actions in the sin offering prefigure Christ's mediatory role, reminding us of our need for a mediator.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_symbolism_of_blood.htm">The Symbolism of Blood</a></b><br>Blood represents life and purification, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, whose blood cleanses us from all sin.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_necessity_of_repentance.htm">The Necessity of Repentance</a></b><br>The sin offering was not just a ritual but required genuine repentance, teaching us the importance of a contrite heart.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_for_forgiveness.htm">God's Provision for Forgiveness</a></b><br>The sin offering illustrates God's provision for forgiveness, encouraging us to trust in His grace and mercy.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_5.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 5</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/purpose_of_altar_of_incense.htm">What is the purpose of the Altar of Incense?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/benefits_of_becoming_christian.htm">Is life sustained by the presence of blood?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_leviticus_4_6-7_conflict_with_science.htm">In Leviticus 4:6-7, does the ritual use of blood for purification have any scientific basis, or could it conflict with modern understandings of disease transmission?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_blood_of_christ_mean.htm">What is the meaning of the Blood of Christ?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) <span class= "bld">And he shall sprinkle.</span>--Here again there is a striking difference between the ritual in the sacrifice before us and that in the case of the regular sin offering described in the previous chapters.
