Contextual Overview

1 The Lord told Moses, "You, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 elders of Israel must come up the mountain and worship me from a distance. 2 Then only Moses will come close to the Lord . The other men must not come close, and the rest of the people must not even come up the mountain." 3 Moses told the people all the rules and commands from the Lord . Then all the people said, "We will obey all the commands that the Lord has spoken." 4 So Moses wrote down all the commands of the Lord . The next morning he got up and built an altar near the bottom of the mountain. And he set up twelve stones—one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then Moses sent young men of Israel to offer sacrifices. These men offered bulls to the Lord as burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. 6 Moses saved the blood from these animals. He put half of the blood in bowls, and he poured the other half of the blood on the altar. 7 Moses read the scroll with the special agreement written on it. He read the agreement so that all the people could hear him. And the people said, "We have heard the laws that the Lord has given us. And we agree to obey them." 8 Then Moses held the bowls full of the blood from the sacrifices. He threw that blood on the people. He said, "This blood shows that the Lord has made a special agreement with you. The laws God gave you explain the agreement."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins,.... Half of the blood of the above sacrifices, this he put into basins, and set by, in order to sprinkle on the people:

and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar; the Targum of Onkelos adds, to atone for the people. But the altar here seems to represent the Lord, who was one of the parties covenanting, and therefore is sprinkled with blood as a ratification of the covenant on his part, and the promises of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He sprinkled - Rather, he cast. See Leviticus 1:5.
