Leviticus 8:15
Moses took the blood, and with his finger
put it on the horns of the altar around it and purified the altar and poured
out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it to make atonement for
it.
In God's economy, the blood of a sacrifice
is a purifying agent. It makes things cleaner. In typical fashion, our economy
develops a theme directly to the opposite where blood is typically a ruining
agent - it stains, it's gross, it makes you faint, it makes you sick. We bring
in hazmat because blood taints things. According to God, things are tainted
unless they're made pure or cleansed by being touched or covered by blood.
