Blood for God and for Us
Commentators explain that the division of the blood was highly symbolic. The half sprinkled on the altar represented the atonement made towards God, satisfying His holiness. The other half, set aside in basins for the people, was for their personal experience of cleansing and reconciliation. As Charles Spurgeon notes, the blood has a dual power: one God-ward and one man-ward.
