Coordinated Roles in Worship

Commentators explain the specific division of labor during the Passover sacrifice. The Levites performed the slaughter of the lambs and the flaying (skinning) of the animals. They would then catch the blood and hand it to the priests, whose distinct role was to sprinkle the blood, likely upon the altar. This coordinated effort highlights the order and reverence required in worship.
