Commentaire sur Le Lévitique 16:19
וְהִזָּ֨ה עָלָ֧יו מִן־הַדָּ֛ם בְּאֶצְבָּע֖וֹ שֶׁ֣בַע פְּעָמִ֑ים וְטִהֲר֣וֹ וְקִדְּשׁ֔וֹ מִטֻּמְאֹ֖ת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
et fera de ce sang, avec son doigt, sept aspersions sur l’autel, qu’il purifiera et sanctifiera ainsi des souillures des enfants d’Israël.
Rashi on Leviticus
והזה עליו מן הדם AND HE SHALL SPRINKLE UPON IT WITH THE BLOOD — After he has made with his finger the application of the blood upon the horns of the altar he shall make seven sprinklings on its top (עליו signifies "upon it") (cf. Sifra, Acharei Mot, Chapter 4 12).

He sprinkles seven sprinklings on its top. Because it is written “on it,” implying that he placed [the blood] on its roof.
