Core Text
ויקדם בני אהרן את הדם אליו... מה הראשון טעון חיטוי אף זה טעון חיטוי. מה הראשון טעון על ד' קרנות אף זה טעון על ד' קרנות.

English: Just as the first offering required the blood to be applied as a purification on the altar, so this offering required purification; and just as the first was applied to all four corners, so this one was applied to all four corners.

What Is Learned

Sifra compares the blood service of Aharon's offering with the later communal sin-offering: both require the corresponding blood application, including application on the four horns of the altar.
