Was Jesus' death legitimate? Legitimate, not in the fact that He died, but in how specifically his blood was shed. It is said that Jesus' death was the final fulfillment of the old testament requirements. If this is true, then shouldn't the blood of Jesus, along with water, be sprinkled onto the ark of the covenant?

If Jesus' blood was not sprinkled onto the ark, how did it fulfill the very specific sacrificial requirement of God?


  Leviticus 16:15  (NKJV)
  
  15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the
  people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as he did
  with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and
  before the mercy seat.
Hebrews 10:1 (KJV)
  For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.


I think you can say from Hebrews 10 that the Old Testament sacrifices were a picture of Christ's sacrifice more than that his death was a fulfillment of Old Testament requirements.

Edit: Here are the verses I wanted (emphasis on verse 23):


  Hebrews 9:19-24 (KJV)
  For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
  Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
  Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
  It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
  For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
