The priest shall then take some of the log of olive oil, pour it in the palm of his own left hand. The oil from the log is poured into the priest's left palm — the cupped hand that will hold the oil for the sprinkling and anointing that follows. The distinction between the left hand (holding the oil) and the right hand (applying the oil) is implicit in the procedure. The oil that was waved before the Lord (verse 12) is now in the priest's hand, ready for the final anointing of the restored person.
