נטל דם הפר והניח דם השעיר. מסקנא דמלתא דרבי יהודה היא, דאמר לא היה שם אלא כן אחד, וצריך ליטול דם הפר תחלה כדי להניח דם השעיר בכן שהיה עליו דם הפר. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
על הפרוכת. דכתיב (ויקרא ט״ז) וכן יעשה לאהל מועד:
עירה דם הפר. דכתיב במתנות המזבח (שם) ולקח מדם הפר ומדם השעיר, מדם שניהם יחד:
ונתן את המלא בריקן. וחוזר ומערה מזרק מלא תוך הריקן כדי שיתערבו הדמים יפה יפה:

Mishnayos Yoma Perek 5 Mishnah 5
יומא פרק ה׳ משנה ה׳
Bartenura
היה מחטא ויורד – this Tanna/teacher held that the Kohen would walk on his feet to each and every corner. And each and every sprinkling was in the corner that was before him and nearest him. And for this reason, [the Mishnah] takes [the words] “purifying [the altar by sprinkling], that is to say, that he would give sprinkling from above to below, for if he had given [sprinkling] from below to above in the corner that was before him, the blood would flow into his handle and soil his clothing. But Rabbi Eliezer held that the Kohen would stand in one corner and from there give sprinklings on all the corners, for the entire altar was not other than one cubit by one cubit squared, and since the three corners were near him, he can sprinkling from below to above without soiling his clothing, except for this corner that he was standing near, for it was impossible for him to turn sideways the tops of his fingers downward but [only] upwards, for if he would turn the tops of fingers downward and give a sprinkling from the bottom to the top, the blood would flow into the handle of his undercoat. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.
היה מחטא ויורד. האי תנא סבר שהיה הכהן הולך ברגליו לכל קרן וקרן, וכל מתנה ומתנה היתה בקרן שלפניו וסמוך לו. ולהכי נקט מחטא ויורד, כלומר שהיה נותן מתנה מלמעלה למטה, שאם יתן מלמטה למעלה בקרן שלפניו הדם זב לתוך בית יד שלו ומטנף את בגדיו. ור״א סבר שהכהן עומד בקרן אחת ומשם נותן המתנות על כל הקרנות שהרי כל המזבח אינו אלא אמה על אמה מרובע וכיון שאין שלשת הקרנות סמוכות לו יכול ליתן מלמטה למעלה ולא יטנף את בגדיו, חוץ מקרן זו שהוא עומד אצלה שאי אפשר לו לצדד ראשי אצבעותיו למטה אלא למעלה, שאם יצדד ראשי אצבעותיו למטה ויתן מתנה מלמטה למעלה הרי הדם זב לתוך בית יד כתונת שלו. ואין הלכה כר״א:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

נטל דם הפר והניח דם השעיר – the final result of the matter is that it is Rabbi Yehuda, who said that there was only one stand there, and he had to take the blood of the bullock first in order to set aside the blood of the goat in the stand, for he had upon him the blood of the bullock. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
על הפרוכת – as it is written (Leviticus 16:16): “[Thus he shall purge the Shrine of the uncleanness and transgression of the Israelites, whatever their sins;] and he shall do the same for the Tent of Meeting,[which abides with them in the midst of their uncleanness].”
עירה דם הפר – as it is written (Leviticus 16:18): “he shall take some of the blood of the bull and of the goat [and apply it to each of the horns of the altar],” from the blood of both of them together.
ונתן את המלא בריקן – and he goes back and empties the full bowl (out of which the sprinkling is done) into the empty one in order that blood combines/mixes extremely well.
