Contextual Overview

1 Then He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and seventy of the leaders of Israel and worship from far away. 2 But Moses alone may come near the Lord. The others should not come near and should not come up with him." 3 Moses came and told the people all the Lord said and all the Laws. All the people answered with one voice, saying, "We will do all that the Lord has spoken." 4 Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars, one for each of the twelve families of Israel. 5 Then he sent young men of Israel, who gave burnt gifts and killed young bulls as gifts of peace given in worship to the Lord. 6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in pots. The other half of the blood he put upon the altar. 7 Then he took the Book of the Agreement and read it for the people to hear. They said, "We will do all that the Lord has spoken. We will obey." 8 So Moses took the blood and put some on the people. He said, "See, the blood of the agreement, which the Lord has made with you in these words."

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.
