The answer is: Sprinkled it on the people

Ex 24:7-8

When Moses sprinkled the blood of the sacrifices on the people, it represented a powerful and profound moment in establishing the covenant between God and the Israelites. This ritual marked not just a physical action but also a deep spiritual commitment. Vince Lombardi once famously said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." Although we often think of winning in competitive terms, here, it’s all about making commitments that define relationships—like the covenant, a sacred agreement illustrating trust and deep responsibility among all involved.

So, Moses splashing blood on the people might sound a bit gruesome today, but in the ancient world, this was common symbolism. This act signified that the people were now part of a binding agreement with God; the covenant affirmed their duties as a holy nation. Fun side note: Did you know the Hebrew word for “covenant” is “berit”?

Roots of these actions echo through the ages—we see elements of sacrifice and pledging allegiance all over religious traditions from diverse backgrounds! Also, the blood ritual served as an eternal reminder; it was not in vain, as it fostered a community deeply conscious of their identity and every member's part. As new believers today wrestle with their own covenants, consider how communal, heartfelt acts define relationships but sometimes slip from view—reminding us that an unseen love ever pulses within tradition’s vein!
