Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. The blood application for the leader's sin offering is simpler than for the high priest's or the community's: blood on the horns of the burnt offering altar in the courtyard, with the rest poured at the altar's base. No blood is taken into the tent of meeting; no sevenfold sprinkling before the veil. The blood application matches the level of sacred contamination: the leader's sin affects the community and its worship but does not require the intensive cleansing of the inner sanctuary that the high priest's sin requires.
