Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 19:4

4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his singer, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times.

Or, Towards or over against the Tabernacle. either 1. Near to it, and so we must suppose that he took some of the blood in a basin and carried it from without the camp to the Tabernacle, and then returned to this place again: Which might be done though it be not here expressed. And this seems to agree best with other places, where this sprinkling seven times was performed in or near the Tabernacle, as Lev. 4. 17. Or 2. Standing at a good distance from it, even without the camp, yet turning and looking towards it. For here is no intimation that he went into the camp before this work was done, but rather the contrary is implyed, ver. 7. And because being defiled by this work he could not come near to the Tabernacle, it was sufficient for him to turn and look towards it. Either way this posture signified his presenting of this blood before the Lord by way of atonement and satisfaction for his and the peoples sins, and his expectation [illegible: 1 word] acceptance and pardon onely from God and from his mercy-seat in the Tabernacle.
