“And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.”
Moses slaughtered the ram and took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. The application of the ordination blood to Aaron's right earlobe, right thumb, and right big toe is the most intimate application of blood in the entire Levitical system. The ear that hears God's commands, the hand that performs the priestly service, and the foot that walks into the holy place — all three are marked with the blood of ordination. The priest who has been washed, clothed, and anointed is now marked at the three organs of active obedience. Hebrews 9:21 says Moses sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies.
