10 And, on the eighth day, he shall take two he-lambs, without defect, and one ewe-lamb, the choice of its year without defect, - and three-tenths of fine meal for a meal-offering, overflowed with oil, and one log of oil. 11 And the priest that is cleansing him shall cause the man that is to be cleansed, and those things to stand before Yahweh, at the opening of the tent of meeting. 12 And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and bring him near as a guilt-bearer and the log of oil, - and shall wave them as a wave-offering, before Yahweh; 13 and shall slay the lamb in the place where the sin-bearer and the ascending-sacrifice are slain, in the holy place, - for like the sin-bearer, the guilt-bearer, is the priests, most holy, it is. 14 Then shall the priest take of the blood of the guilt-bearer, and the priest shall 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; 15 and the priest shall take of the log of oil, - and shall pour it upon the palm of the priest's left hand, 16 and the priest shall dip his right finger and take of the oil that is on the palm of his left hand, - and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh: 17 and of the remainder of the oil which is on the palm of his hand, shall the priest put 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 blood of the guilt-bearer; 18 and that which remaineth of the oil that is on the palm of the priest's hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, - so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, before Yahweh. 19 Then shall the priest offer the sin-bearer, and shall put a propitiatory-covering over him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness, - and, afterwards, shall he slay the ascending-sacrifice.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering,.... According to the Misnah r, two priests received the blood of it, one in a vessel and the other in his hand; he that received it in a vessel went and sprinkled it upon the wall (or top, as Maimonides s) of the altar; and he that received it in his hand went to the leper, and the leper having dipped himself in the chamber of the lepers, went and stood in the gate of Nicanor:

and the priest shall 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; as was done at the consecration of the high priest, :-,

:-: now as the leper stood at the door of the tabernacle without the court, he was obliged to put in his head, his right hand, and his right foot, in order to have the blood put on them by the priest, who was in the court; and these were put in either separately one after another, or together: the tradition runs thus t, he (the leper) thrust in his head, and (the priest) put (the blood) upon the tip of his ear; his hand, and he put it upon the thumb of his hand; his foot, and he put it upon the great toe of his foot: and the application of the blood to these parts showed that the leper had now a right to hear the word of God, to partake of all privileges, to touch anything without defiling it, and to go into any house or company where he thought fit, he was now at full liberty; more evangelically these things may signify the sanctification and cleansing of those parts, and of the whole man by the blood of Christ; and particularly may signify, that as the ear is unclean, uncircumcised, and unsanctified in a leprous sinner and even there are hearing sins in the best of men, the ear is sanctified, and hearing sins removed by the blood of Christ; and as the right hand, being the instrument of action, may denote the evil works of men, and even since the most righteous performances of the best of men are attended with sin, the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, had need to be put upon them; and whereas the conversation of then, which the foot may be an emblem of, is sinful and vain, it is by the blood of Christ that they are redeemed from it; and the influence of that blood sprinkled on the conscience will oblige and constrain men to live and walk soberly, righteously, and godly.

r Ut supra. (Misn. Negaim, c. 14. sect. 8) s Ut supra. (Hilchot Mechosre Capharah, c. 4. sect. 2.) t Ut supra, (r) sect. 9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In the same way, and with the same significance as in Leviticus 8:23. It is said that a portion of the blood was caught by the priest in the palm of his hand as it ran from the victim.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 14:14. Upon the tip of the right ear, &c.Exodus 29:20; Exodus 29:20.
