Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Leviticus 8:11

He sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times To signify the singular use and holiness of it, which it was not only to have in itself, but to communicate to all the sacrifices laid upon it. And thus does the blood of atonement give efficacy to all the services of believers, and render them acceptable to God.
