Other parallels in Scripture may suggest a sense of communion with God. For example, in Exodus 24:1–18, the blood of the covenant indicated that Israel had become the people of God. Similarly, in Leviticus 14:14, a cleaned leper had blood smeared on his right ear, thumb, and toe. The blood smearing indicated that the leper was brought back into communion with God. In this instance, the blood showed that Aaron was now God’s special representative among the nation of Israel.
23 Moïse égorgea le bélier, prit de son sang, et en mit sur le lobe de l'oreille droite d'Aaron, sur le pouce de sa main droite et sur le gros orteil de son pied droit.
