Context

The Ram of Ordination

²⁴Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then he sprinkled the blood on all sides of the altar.²⁵And Moses took the fat—the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the lobe of the liver, and both kidneys with their fat—as well as the right thigh.²⁶And from the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD, he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and he placed them on the fat portions and on the right thigh.

Summary

In Leviticus 8:25, we see the act of sacrifice being performed as part of the consecration ceremony for the priests. The blood of the ram of ordination is placed on the right ear, right thumb, and right big toe of Aaron and his sons. This symbolic act signifies the priests' consecration to hear, do, and walk in obedience to God's commands. It foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who would cleanse and consecrate believers for service to God.
