 Blood and Purity
The answer Leviticus gives is: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have assigned it for you upon the altar to effect purgation for your lives; for it is the blood that effects purgation, because of the life" (17:11; see v14; Deut 12:23).
Blood, as the symbol of life, is the only part of the animal powerful enough to effect purgation, and Yahweh has assigned it.
The ritual control of sacrificial blood, therefore, is tied to the symbolic control of the social body: the central state sanctuary (the politically-based Yahweh cult) was the only legitimate locus of sacrifice, and therefore purification.

 Review of William K. Gilders, Blood Ritual in the Hebrew Bible: Meaning and Power
Traditionally scholars have interpreted these blood rituals by referring to Lev 17:11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you for making atonement for your lives on the altar; for, as life, it is the blood that makes atonement” (NRSV).
The ban on the consumption of blood in D (Deut 12:16, 23-25) and P (Gen 9:4), for example, admittedly identifies “blood” with “life,” but is never derived explicitly from the use of blood in the cult.
As P nowhere employs kipper in the sense of “ransom” in connection with blood manipulation, Lev 17:11 may obviously not be used to explain blood rituals in P or elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible.

 Johns Hopkins University Press | Books | Blood Ritual in the Hebrew Bible
The Hebrew Bible refers to tossing sacrificial blood onto an altar or an assembly of people, daubing it on the altar's horns or parts of the human body, and sprinkling it on or in front of sacred objects.
Focusing on the analysis of practice, Gilders finds that blood manipulation is regularly marked as elite activity, serving as an index of social relationships and hierarchies.
Blood rituals also regulate access to sacred spaces and define the limits of such spaces.
