19Take the second ram, and Aaron and his sons are to lay their hands on its head. 20Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on the right earlobes of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Sprinkle the remaining blood on all sides of the altar. 21And take some of the blood on the altar and some of the anointing oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. Then he and his garments will be consecrated, as well as his sons and their garments.
Priests are consecrated as His and the blood 🩸 put on the right earlobe, the right thumb and the right big toe.
But why the right side of the priests?
Could it be because most people are right handed and the right side is the strongest?
God demands the firstborn, the first fruits. Then why not the strongest part of man?
“Yes, brethren, we need to know that double anointing, the blood of Jesus which cleanses, and the oil of the Holy Spirit which perfumes us. It is well to see how these two blend in one… It is a terrible blunder to set the blood and the oil in opposition, they must always go together.” (Spurgeon)
Have you been cleansed (consecrated) with the blood 🩸 of Jesus?
Blessings, David
