Leviticus 4:16-17 NLT
“The high priest will then take some of the bull’s blood into the Tabernacle, dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the inner curtain.”
Not a one-time
The scripture stated death as the reward for missing the mark, even if ignorantly committed. Under the old covenant, God provided a way of escape which required using a young bull with no defect. The animal must be slaughtered, and its blood brought into Tabernacle, after which the priest would sprinkle it in front of the inner altar. The question is, why was the blood necessary? First, without the shedding of blood, the scripture says there is no remission of sin (Hebrews 9:22). Second, life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). However, the kind of life that the people of Israel got from slaughtering a young bull without defect was temporal. They had to perform the same right each time they erred ignorantly. But praise be God for taking all these away through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Prayer
God of all creation, thank You for Your gift of love purchased through the blood of Jesus Christ, amen.
