Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of sprinkling was a significant ritual practice. It was used in various ceremonies, including the purification of the unclean, the consecration of priests, and the atonement for sin. The sprinkling of blood, water, or oil was a physical representation of spiritual truths, such as purification from sin and the sanctification of individuals or objects for holy purposes. These practices were central to maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
