Sprinkle, namely, with blood to atone for guilt, as the high priest did (Leviticus 4:6; Leviticus 16:14; Leviticus 16:19), or with water for purifying (Numbers 19:18-21; Acts 2:33). So Messiah (Isaiah 52:15; Hebrews 9:13-14; 1 Peter 1:2). Many were astonished at Him; so shall He sprinkle many nations, even kings shall shut their mouths in dumb awe (compare Romans 16:25-26, and Romans 15:21 with Isaiah 52:14-15).
