Lev 14:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12-18 : The cleansed leper had to bring three lambs, a grain offering, and some oil. The main ceremony was about the trespass-offering. The priest took some blood from the lamb and put it on the person's right ear, thumb, and big toe ( v. 12, 14 ). This was the same as what was done when priests were made holy (Leviticus 8:23, 24 ). This showed that the person was now welcome again in God’s house, no matter their past. The priest also put oil on the same places, over the blood, after waving and sprinkling it before the Lord . The blood meant forgiveness, and the oil meant healing (Psalm 103:3; Isaiah 38:17 ). These two things—being forgiven and being healed—always go together. Even if a person was once a leper, if they repent, God welcomes them back fully. When the water was sprinkled, it had to contain blood ( v. 5 ). When the oil was put on, it was always over the blood, showing that all spiritual blessings come because of Jesus’ death for us.

‏ Leviticus 14:12

v. 12-18: The cleansed leper had to bring three lambs, a grain offering, and some oil. The main ceremony was about the trespass-offering. The priest took some blood from the lamb and put it on the person's right ear, thumb, and big toe (v. 12, 14 ^a). This was the same as what was done when priests were made holy (Leviticus 8:23, 24 ^b). This showed that the person was now welcome again in God’s house, no matter their past. The priest also put oil on the same places, over the blood, after waving and sprinkling it before the Lord. The blood meant forgiveness, and the oil meant healing (Psalm 103:3; Isaiah 38:17 ^c). These two things—being forgiven and being healed—always go together. Even if a person was once a leper, if they repent, God welcomes them back fully. When the water was sprinkled, it had to contain blood (v. 5 ^d). When the oil was put on, it was always over the blood, showing that all spiritual blessings come because of Jesus’ death for us.
