Commentators highlight that before the altar could be used for atonement, it first had to be atoned for. Moses applied blood to purify and sanctify it. This shows that in God's economy, everything associated with worship must be cleansed by blood, underscoring the holiness of God and the comprehensive need for atonement, a principle ultimately fulfilled in Christ's sacrifice.
