Atonement of the innocent blood

Deuteronomy 21:1-9
Atonement for an unsolved murder, the elder of the town nearest to the body shall take a heifer and lead her down to a valley that has not been plowed or planted and where there is a flowing stream.  There in the valley they are to break the heifer's neck.
All the elders shall wash their hand over the heifer and they shall declare:"Or hand did not shed this blood, nor our eyes see it done...". So you will purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood.
The priests, the son of Levi, shall step forward, for the Lord your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the Lord and to decide all cases of dispute and assault.
Why?
The life have to be replace or to be exchange by the blood, for the blood is life. So the blood of a heifer to be sacrificed for atonement for the killed man.
Priest is a holy job, doing three main jobs.
How?
Our sins are erased by the blood of Jesus, for the Lord loves us, when I haven't know him, he has prepared Jesus for me.
