Teaching Points Symbolism of BloodThe application of blood on the ear, thumb, and toe signifies the complete dedication of the priest's hearing, actions, and walk to God. As believers, we are called to dedicate every aspect of our lives to God's service. Holistic Consecration The specific parts of the body mentioned (ear, thumb, toe) represent the totality of a person's life. This teaches us that our service to God should be comprehensive, involving our thoughts, actions, and direction in life. The Role of Sacrifice The use of a sacrificial ram underscores the importance of sacrifice in approaching God. In the New Covenant, Jesus is our ultimate sacrifice, and we are called to live sacrificially in response. Priestly Identity Just as Aaron and his sons were set apart for priestly duties, believers today are called to embrace their identity as a royal priesthood, serving God and others. The Altar's Significance The altar as a place of sacrifice and worship reminds us of the centrality of worship in our relationship with God. Our lives should be centered around worship and devotion.(20) Take of his blood.--The blood was regarded as the life (Genesis 9:4). The life consecrated to God and accepted by Him was given back by Him to His ministers, that it might consecrate them wholly to His service, and so fit them for it. Placed upon the tip of the right ear, it reminded them that their ears were to be ever open and attentive to the whispers of the Divine voice; placed on the thumb of the right hand, it taught that they should take in hand nothing but what was sanctified; placed upon the great toe of the right foot, it was a warning that they were to walk thenceforth in the paths of holiness.Verse 20. - The victim having been offered and accepted, its blood had a sanctifying power. Placed upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron and his sons, it sanctified that organ, which was to be ever open to the Divine voice; placed upon the thumb of their right hand, it sanctified their ministerial actions; placed upon the great toe of their right foot, it sanctified their whole walk in life, their "going out," and their "coming in." The consecrated life of the victim which they had offered "was given back to them, in order that it might be devoted to the service of the Lord." Parallel Commentaries ...
