Leviticus 9:9

And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him ,.... The blood of the calf of the sin offering, which they had received in a basin when it was slain:

and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar ; the four horns of it, as Moses had done at his consecration, which was an example to him, Leviticus 8:15 . This was typical of the blood of Christ, to which persons may have recourse from the four quarters of the world for atonement and pardon:

and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar ; what remained after he had put what was proper on the horns of it.
