“And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:”
He is to slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the person being cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. The blood of the guilt offering lamb in the reduced package is applied identically to the full package: right ear, right thumb, right big toe. The blood-marking that consecrates the restored person at the three organs of active obedience is the same in the poverty provision as in the full ceremony. The God who accepts the reduced package accepts it as fully as the full package — the application of the blood to the same locations communicates the complete equivalence of the restoration it provides.
