Significance: Leviticus 1:5 prescribes that the priests shall זָרַק (zaraq, "sprinkle/dash") the blood against all sides of the altar after the worshiper slaughters the animal, establishing the foundational blood-manipulation procedure for burnt offerings. 2 Chronicles 30:16 describes Hezekiah's Passover revival, where the priests "stood at their prescribed posts according to the Law of Moses" and "sprinkled the blood received from the hand of the Levites" — following this exact Levitical protocol centuries later. The Chronicler's emphasis that they acted "according to the Law of Moses" (כְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה) deliberately validates Hezekiah's reform as a return to authentic Mosaic worship after generations of neglect, demonstrating the enduring normativity of the Levitical blood procedures.
