Leviticus 16:15
"He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times."
Key Reflection
This action symbolizes the priest's role in atoning for the sins of the people by applying the blood of the sacrificial bull to the mercy seat, both on it and before it, invoking divine favor and cleansing from sin. The sevenfold sprinkling emphasizes completeness and thoroughness in the purification process.
