Study note
Setting — The anointed priest acts after the congregation's elders have laid hands on and slaughtered the bull, then carries the animal's blood toward the sanctuary.
The words — The Hebrew הַמָּשִׁיחַ (ha-mashiach) literally means "the anointed one," designating the specific priest authorized to perform this ritual transfer.
The thread — This command repeats the procedure in Leviticus 4:5 and establishes the ritual pattern that Hebrews 9:12 contrasts with Christ's single entry into the Most Holy Place.
Why it lands — The text dictates a physical movement of blood into the Tent of Meeting, requiring strict compliance with the prescribed sanctuary procedure.
