And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:
25

And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

26

And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:

27

And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:

28

And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Earthly Sanctuary System

While the verse describes a ritual, it does not explicitly name the sanctuary, tabernacle, or temple, nor does it directly mention blood sacrifice or the Levitical priesthood, which are key components of the theme definition.

Christ as High Priest

This verse describes a specific ritual performed by a Levitical priest using oil, a practice distinct from the New Testament portrayal of Christ's unique, non-Levitical priesthood and self-sacrifice. There is no direct mention or symbolic representation of Christ, his role, or his sacrifice within the plain text of this ritual instruction.
