No, BB, The high priest was to identify one bullock for himself, and rwo kid goats and a ram sheep for the people, to be used in the offering. It's all in Leviticus 16, which MHGinTN summarized a little upthread.
First, the high priest had to make an atonement for himself successfully, in the Holy of Holies, by using the blood of the bullock:
"And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense
may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward;
and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times"
(Lev. 16:15,16 AV)
That is on behalf of him and his own family I think, or maybe for all the Aaronic priests.
Then he goes back outside, into the killing yard, and kills one of the goats; then brings its blood into the inner rooms of the temple, behind the veil, and sprinkles the goat's blood on and before the mercy seat, just as he did before, but this was for all the people of Israel.
Then he goes out of the tabernacle and does some more finger-sprinkling.
So the blood of the bullock and the goat was not poured, it was finger-sprinkled, which really did not use much in the Holy of Holies. The rest of it was used up outside on the external big altar in front of the tabernacle.
You can read more at your convenience. It is not too complicated, but most churches don't get into studying it much, if at all, these days. I never heard my Dad preach about it or refer to it while I was growing up, so I never knew of the significance of Yom Kippur until after I was saved and hung around with Plymouth-type brethren.
But thanks for asking.
Thank you for your reply. Whether all of the blood of the sacrifices were poured or sprinkled, I guess my point was that the Israelites were forbidden from eating blood PERIOD (see Genesis 9:4; Lev. 3:17; 7:27; 17:10, 14; 19:26; Deut. 12:16, 23; 15:23). The blood belonged to God alone as it represented the life of the flesh. In Leviticus 17, God says:
For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make an atonement for your souls upon the altar, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement. Therefore I say to the Israelites, ‘None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you eat blood.' (Leviticus 17:11,12)
As the life of the creature, was given for theirs to preserve them alive, and secure them from death their sins deserved; and so the Targum of Jonathan is, for the sins of the soul; which shows that these sacrifices were vicarious, in the room of men, and for the life of them, and to atone for them; and is the reason given why blood should not be eaten. for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul; so here was life for life, soul for soul as Aben Ezra expresses it; it was a vicarious sacrifice and atonement, typical of the sacrifice and atonement of Christ, in the room and stead of his people, there being no atonement, no remission of sins without shedding of blood; and the reason of the prohibition of eating blood was to direct to that blood as the atonement for sin, and to keep up a reverence of it, and a value and esteem for it.
