Et recedent ranæ a te, et a domo tua, et a servis tuis, et a populo tuo : et tantum in flumine remanebunt.

Reciprocal: Exodus 29:36 - anoint it Exodus 30:18 - a laver Exodus 40:10 - sanctify Leviticus 14:7 - seven times Leviticus 16:14 - General Numbers 7:1 - anointed it
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times,.... The altar of burnt offering; the order for anointing it is given in
Exodus 30:28 but in that no directions are given for the manner of doing it by sprinkling, nor the number of times it was to be sprinkled: hence Jarchi confesses his ignorance, and says,
"I know not how it was ordered about these sprinklings;''
but no doubt Moses was instructed of God in what manner to anoint it, and how often; and the number seven may denote the perfect unction of it, and made it a fitter type of Christ, who received the unction of the Spirit without measure:
and anointed the altar, and all its vessels; pans, shovels, basins, flesh hooks, and fire pans:
both the laver and his foot; which was for the priests to wash at; and very probably this was done before Moses brought Aaron and his sons thither and washed them, Leviticus 8:6 since it seems most proper that it should be consecrated before used, as it follows:
to sanctify them; set them apart for sacred use.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Sprinkled ... the altar seven times - The altar of burnt-offering was distinguished by this sevenfold sprinkling with the holy oil. The number of the covenant was thus brought into connection with those acts of sacrifice by which the covenant between Yahweh and the worshipper was formally renewed and confirmed.
