The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. The oil procedure in the reduced package begins identically to the full package: oil poured into the priest's left palm. The identical procedure communicates the identical significance: the oil that anoints the restored person in the reduced package is the same oil performing the same consecration as in the full package. The restoration is not lesser because the surrounding offerings are lesser.
