Context

Cleansing from Skin Diseases

²⁶Then the priest is to pour some of the oil into his left palm²⁷and sprinkle with his right forefinger some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the LORD.²⁸The priest shall also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot—on the same places as the blood of the guilt offering.

Summary

In Leviticus 14:27, the priest is instructed to offer a sacrifice for the atonement of sin on behalf of the individual who is seeking cleansing from a skin disease. This act symbolizes the removal of impurity and the restoration of the person to the community after being isolated due to their condition. The sacrifice serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance and reconciliation with God. This ritual points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who cleanses believers from sin and restores them to a right relationship with God.
