“And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand 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, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:”
The priest is to put some of the oil in his palm 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, on top of the blood of the guilt offering. The oil application over the blood on the ear, thumb, and toe — identical to verse 17. The oil-over-blood application in the reduced package is the same as in the full package: atonement first, consecration over it. The theological structure of the restoration ceremony is preserved completely in the reduced package.
