Slaughter it, take some of its blood and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then splash blood against the sides of the altar.
I thought this was a strange verse. Aaron and his sons are being consecrated as priests. There are sacrifices and lots of blood, including blood on their ears, thumbs and big toes. But just like so many things in Exodus, this is foreshadowing Christ. Christ's blood consecrates us and allows us to come into the presence of God. (Hebrews 9:11-14)
Lord, thank you for the blood of your son which washes away our sins. Please help us to live pure and holy lives. Amen,
