First Sprinkling of the Bull's Blood

The Kohain Gadol brought the Ketores into the Kodesh Hakodoshim. He then left the Haichal and took the blood of the bull from the Kohain who was stirring it.

Sprinkling the Bull's Blood
The Kohain Gadol entered the Kodesh Hakodoshim again and stood before the Aron. He sprinkled the blood with his finger towards (but not onto) the Aron eight times. (In the second Bais Hamikdash, although there was no Aron, he sprinked the blood in the same way.)

Then the Kohain Gadol left the Kodesh Hakodoshim and put the bull's blood on a stand in front of the Paroches. He now prepared to sprinkle the goat's blood.
