the animal’s blood would cover that person’s sin
The sin of the person would still exist, but the blood would cover it. This is like hiding something that is ugly or dirty by covering it.
God would not see that sin any longer
This does not mean that God was not able to see the person’s sin. Rather, it means that God would choose not to look at the person’s sin. Because that person had offered the sacrifice, God would not punish them for that sin. In this way, they would be clean.
