Exegesis
The causative Hifil vehizzah {וְהִזָּ֞ה | wə-ḥiz-zāh} ‘and he shall sprinkle’ introduces the perfunctory act, directed by el-nokhach penei ohel-moʿed {אֶל־נֹ֨כַח פְּנֵ֧י אֹֽהֶל־מוֹעֵ֛ד | ʾel-nō-ḥaḥ pə-nê ʾō-hel-mô-ʿēd} ‘toward the front of the tent of meeting’, indicating precise spatial orientation.
In context — Numbers 19:4
Then Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle the blood seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.
