The priest's use of oil signifies the setting apart of the individual for God's purposes. The oil remaining in the priest's palm after the initial application to the ear, thumb, and toe of the cleansed person indicates a surplus of God's provision and blessing.<p><b>the priest is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed</b><br>The anointing of the head with oil is a significant act, symbolizing the complete purification and sanctification of the individual. In biblical times, anointing the head was often associated with kingship and priesthood, suggesting a restoration to a state of honor and dignity. This act foreshadows the anointing of Jesus Christ, the ultimate High Priest, who cleanses believers from sin.<p><b>to make atonement for him</b><br>Atonement is a central theme in Leviticus, emphasizing reconciliation between God and humanity. The Hebrew word for atonement, "kaphar," means to cover or to make reconciliation. This act of atonement signifies the removal of impurity and the restoration of the individual to a right relationship with God. It prefigures the atoning work of Christ, who provides the ultimate covering for sin through His sacrifice.<p><b>before the LORD</b><br>The phrase "before the LORD" underscores the presence and authority of God in the ritual. It indicates that the cleansing and atonement are not merely ceremonial but are performed in the sight of God, who is the ultimate judge and redeemer. This reflects the biblical principle that all acts of worship and purification are to be conducted with reverence and accountability to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>A mediator between God and the people, responsible for performing the cleansing rituals and making atonement.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_one_to_be_cleansed.htm">The One to be Cleansed</a></b><br>An individual who has been afflicted with a skin disease (often translated as leprosy) and is undergoing the purification process.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who provides the means for atonement and restoration.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_oil.htm">The Oil</a></b><br>Symbolic of the Holy Spirit and anointing, used in the ritual to signify purification and consecration.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The place where the rituals are performed, representing God's presence among His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_priest.htm">The Role of the Priest</a></b><br>The priest acts as a mediator, pointing to Christ as our ultimate High Priest who intercedes for us.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_oil.htm">Symbolism of Oil</a></b><br>Oil represents the Holy Spirit's work in cleansing, healing, and consecrating believers for God's service.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/atonement_and_restoration.htm">Atonement and Restoration</a></b><br>The ritual underscores the need for atonement and the restoration of fellowship with God, fulfilled in Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_purity.htm">Holiness and Purity</a></b><br>The cleansing process highlights God's call for His people to be holy and pure, set apart for His purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a></b><br>The restoration of the cleansed individual to the community and worship life of Israel reflects the importance of communal faith and worship.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_14.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 14</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_lev._9_7-8_and_heb._10_4_align.htm">In Leviticus 9:7-8, how can the idea that priests make atonement for the people be squared with Hebrews 10:4, which says animal sacrifices can't truly remove sin?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_god_require_sacrifices_for_cleansing.htm">Why would God specifically prescribe ritual sacrifices (Leviticus 14:10-20) as a means of ceremonial cleansing, while other passages in Scripture suggest different requirements for purity?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_leviticus_21_1-4_historically_accurate.htm">How historically accurate is the claim in Leviticus 21:1-4 that any contact with the dead (apart from immediate family) defiled a priest?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_sparkle_creed_express.htm">How are we cleansed from all unrighteousness?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/14.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(18) <span class= "bld">He shall pour upon the head.</span>--That which remains of the oil in the hollow of the priest's hand after some of it had been sprinkled seven times before the Lord, and after some had been put on the several organs of the leper's body, the priest is <span class= "ital">to put, </span>not "pour," upon the convalescent's head--the quantity left in the hand not being sufficient to pour--whilst the bulk of the log from which the hollow handful has been taken was the perquisite of the officiating priests, and, like the flesh of the sacrifices, had to be consumed within the sacred precincts.<p><span class= "bld">And the priest shall make an atonement.</span>--According to the canons which obtained during the second Temple, it was the act of putting the oil on the several organs, but more especially on the head, which effected the atonement of the restored leper.
