Berean Study Bible

Then the priest
The role of the priest in ancient Israel was pivotal, serving as a mediator between God and the people. The Hebrew word for priest, "kohen," signifies one who is set apart for sacred duties. In the context of Leviticus, the priest's actions are divinely ordained, emphasizing the importance of ritual purity and obedience to God's commands. The priest's involvement underscores the necessity of spiritual leadership in guiding the community towards holiness.

shall slaughter the lamb
The act of slaughtering the lamb is a significant ritual, symbolizing atonement and purification. The Hebrew word "shachat" means to slaughter or kill, and it is a reminder of the sacrificial system that pointed towards the ultimate sacrifice of Christ. The lamb, often seen as a symbol of innocence and purity, prefigures Jesus, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

of the guilt offering
The guilt offering, or "asham" in Hebrew, was a specific type of sacrifice for atonement of unintentional sins or sins requiring restitution. It highlights the seriousness of sin and the need for reconciliation with God. This offering points to the comprehensive nature of Christ's atonement, covering all aspects of human sinfulness and restoring the broken relationship between humanity and God.

take some of its blood
Blood in the biblical context is a powerful symbol of life and atonement. The Hebrew word "dam" for blood signifies life itself, as seen in Leviticus 17:11, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood." The use of blood in the sacrificial system foreshadows the blood of Christ, which cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). It is a vivid reminder of the cost of sin and the grace of God in providing a means of purification.

and put it on the right earlobe
The application of blood on the right earlobe signifies the cleansing and consecration of the individual's hearing. In Hebrew culture, the right side often symbolizes strength and favor. This act represents the need for the cleansed person to listen to and obey God's word, aligning their life with divine instruction.

of the one to be cleansed
The phrase "to be cleansed" indicates the transformative process of moving from impurity to purity. The Hebrew root "taher" means to be clean or pure, both physically and spiritually. This cleansing is not merely external but signifies an inner renewal, pointing to the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life.

on the thumb of his right hand
The thumb of the right hand represents action and service. By applying blood here, the ritual signifies the dedication of one's work and deeds to God. It is a call to live a life of righteousness and service, reflecting the holiness of God in all that one does.

and on the big toe of his right foot
The big toe of the right foot symbolizes one's walk and direction in life. The application of blood here indicates the need for the cleansed person to walk in the ways of the Lord, guided by His commandments. It is a reminder of the Christian journey, walking in the light of Christ and following His path of righteousness.
