“And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord:”
Dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of it before the Lord seven times. The priest sprinkles the oil before the Lord seven times with his right forefinger — the same sevenfold pattern as the blood-sprinkling in the skin disease atonement. The oil sprinkled before the Lord is the portion presented to God; the oil applied to the person in verses 17–18 is the portion that anoints the restored individual. The God who received the blood of the guilt offering also receives the sevenfold oil-sprinkling before His presence.
