“If his offering as a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish.

He is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger against the east side of the mercy seat; then he will sprinkle some of the blood with his finger before the mercy seat seven times.

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
