• “This is the blood of the testament” (covenant) “which God hath enjoined unto you” (Heb. 9:19-20). Here we find the interesting particular, not given in Moses, that the book was sprinkled as well as the people. There were thus three sprinklings—upon the altar, upon the book, and upon the people. (“The Ratification of the Covenant: Exodus 24” by E. Dennett)
• The life is in the blood (Lev. 17:11), and consequently the blood, the shedding of it, will represent death, and death, when connected with sacrifice, as the penalty of sin. Here therefore the sprinkling of the blood signifies death as the penal sanction of the law. The people promised obedience, and then they, as well as the book, were sprinkled to teach that death would be the penalty of transgression. Such was the solemn position into which, by their own consent, they had been brought. They undertook to obey under the penalty of death. Well therefore might the apostle say, “As many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse” (Gal. 3:10). (“The Ratification of the Covenant: Exodus 24” by E. Dennett)
