Leviticus 16:14

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.

Cross-reference

Leviticus 4:6 has the same sevenfold finger-sprinkling of blood before the veil, directly paralleling the action here on the mercy seat.

Leviticus 4:17 repeats the sevenfold sprinkling before the veil, identical to the pattern used here for the Day of Atonement.

Leviticus 17:11 provides the theological rationale: blood atones because life is in it, directly underlying the mercy seat sprinkling in Lev 16:14.

Romans 3:24-26 presents Christ as the propitiation (mercy seat), fulfilling the typology where blood sprinkled on the mercy seat prefigures his atoning sacrifice.

Hebrews 10:10-12 shows Christ's single offering sanctifies once for all, contrasting with the repeated sacrifices of which Lev 16:14 is a prime example.

Hebrews 10:19 uses the Day of Atonement imagery to declare that Christ's blood gives believers confidence to enter God's presence—a new access.
