Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord commanded Moses ² to tell the people of Israel that anyone who sinned and broke any of the Lord 's commands without intending to, would have to observe the following rules. ³ If it is the High Priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he shall present a young bull without any defects and sacrifice it to the Lord for his sin. ⁴ He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent, put his hand on its head, and kill it there in the Lord 's presence. ⁵ Then the High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent. ⁶ He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it in front of the sacred curtain seven times. ⁷ Then he shall put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the incense altar in the Tent. He shall pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar used for burning sacrifices, which is at the entrance of the Tent. ⁸ From this bull he shall take all the fat, the fat on the internal organs, ⁹ the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver. ¹⁰ The priest shall take this fat and burn it on the altar used for the burnt offerings, just as he does with the fat from the animal killed for the fellowship offering.

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.
