Side-ring EXTRA · From kapparah of the day to daily blood discipline

Source

After the detailed Yom Kippur avodah of chapter 16, the Torah turns immediately to the permanent discipline of blood and the place of slaughter. Commentators note the conceptual link: the same blood that effects kapparah on the mizbeach must never be treated as common outside it.

What Is Learned

The extraordinary kapparah of Yom Kippur does not relax the ordinary reverence for blood. Chapter 17 immediately re-asserts that every act of slaughter remains bound to the Sanctuary’s authority.
