Then the priest is to take some of the blood 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 individual sin offering — blood on the horns of the burnt offering altar, rest poured at the base — is the same as for the leader's sin offering. The ritual is the same for the individual and the leader because the standard of atonement does not vary: the blood that covers the individual's sin is the same blood applied in the same way as the blood that covers the leader's sin. The equal access to the same blood is the covenant's equity.
