The right hand is often associated with power and blessing in biblical texts (e.g., <a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>). The act of sprinkling is a ritualistic gesture symbolizing purification and consecration. This specific action is part of the cleansing process for a person healed of a skin disease, emphasizing the importance of precision and intentionality in worship practices.<p><b>some of the oil in his left palm</b><br>Oil in the Bible often represents the Holy Spirit, anointing, and consecration (e.g., <a href="/1_samuel/16-13.htm">1 Samuel 16:13</a>). The use of oil in this ritual underscores the need for spiritual cleansing and renewal. The left palm holding the oil may symbolize receptivity and readiness to serve, as the left hand is often considered the weaker hand, highlighting dependence on God’s strength.<p><b>seven times</b><br>The number seven in Scripture frequently symbolizes completeness and perfection, as seen in the creation account (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>) and throughout biblical prophecy (e.g., <a href="/revelation/1-4.htm">Revelation 1:4</a>). Sprinkling the oil seven times indicates a complete and thorough purification process, ensuring that the individual is fully restored to the community and to God.<p><b>before the LORD</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the presence and authority of God in the ritual. Performing the act "before the LORD" signifies that the ritual is not merely a human tradition but a divine ordinance. It highlights the importance of God's approval and presence in the process of purification and restoration. This concept is echoed in other parts of Scripture where offerings and sacrifices are made directly to God (e.g., <a href="/leviticus/1-3.htm">Leviticus 1:3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>The priest plays a crucial role in the purification process, acting as a mediator between the individual and God.
