SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:6
y mojará el sacerdote su dedo en la sangre, y rociará de aquella sangre siete veces delante del SEÑOR, hacia el velo del santuario.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:6
Verse 6. Seven times] See the note on "Exod. xxix. 30". The blood of this sacrifice was applied in three different ways: 1. The priest put his finger in it, and sprinkled it seven times before the veil, ver. 6. 2. He put some of it on the horns of the altar of incense. 3. He poured the remaining part at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offerings, ver. 7.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood , etc.] The finger of his right hand, as Gersom observes, and so Maimonides f88 ; for blood was always taken and sprinkled with the right hand, if done with the left it was wrong, according to the Jewish canons and though it is only said the priest, and not that is anointed, as before, yet it seems to mean him and not another; though if a private priest did this, Gersom says, it would be right, and so Maimonides f90 : and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord ; a figure of the blood of Christ, called, in allusion to this rite, the blood of sprinkling; which being presented before the Lord, calls for pardon from him, and sprinkled on the conscience, speaks peace there, and perfectly cleanses from all sin, which the seven times sprinkling is a symbol of: before the vail of the sanctuary : the words may be literally rendered, “the face of the vail of the sanctuary”: as if the blood was sprinkled on the outside of the vail. Jarchi’s note is, “over against the place of its holiness, he directed (it) over against between the staves; the blood shall not touch the vail, but if it touches, it touches it;” that is, it is no matter. And according to Maimonides the blood of bullocks and goats burnt was sprinkled seven times upon the vail, which divided between the and the holy of holies. This typified the vail of flesh, whose blood gives boldness to enter into the holiest of all, ( Hebrews 10:19).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-12 - Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and peace-offerings, had been offere before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai; and in these the patriarchs had respect to sin, to make atonement for it. But the Jew were now put into a way of making atonement for sin, more particularl by sacrifice, as a shadow of good things to come; yet the substance in Christ, and that one offering of himself, by which he put away sin. The sins for which the sin-offerings were appointed are supposed to be ope acts. They are supposed to be sins of commission, things which ough not to have been done. Omissions are sins, and must come into judgment yet what had been omitted at one time, might be done at another; but sin committed was past recall. They are supposed to be sins committe through ignorance. The law begins with the case of the anointed priest It is evident that God never had any infallible priest in his churc upon earth, when even the high priest was liable to fall into sins of ignorance. All pretensions to act without error are sure marks of Antichrist. The beast was to be carried without the camp, and ther burned to ashes. This was a sign of the duty of repentance, which is the putting away sin as a detestable thing, which our soul hates. The sin-offering is called sin. What they did to that, we must do to ou sins; the body of sin must be destroyed, Ro 6:6. The apostle applie the carrying this sacrifice without the camp to Christ, Heb 13:11-13.
