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:

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,
