"And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah." — Leviticus 17:6 (ASV)
And the priest shall sprinkle. —After the animals in question had been duly slaughtered by those who brought them, the officiating priest who caught the blood in a bowl is to throw it upon the walls of the altar of burnt offering. (See Leviticus 1:5.)
At the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. —Better, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
And burn the fat. —See Leviticus 3:3; Leviticus 3:5.
