Exodus29:20
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his bloud, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand , and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
These parts are conscerated in the name and stead of all the rest, the ear, as the instrument of hearing and receiving the mind and will of God in all their sacred administrations and in their whole conversation; the hand and foot, as the instruments of action and execution of that which they hear and understand to be the mind of God. And the right parts are chosen, rather than the left, as being usually more vigorous and expeditious. And all these parts are sprinkled with this blood, to shew the absolute necessity of Christs blood to qualifie them for an acceptable and successful discharge of their office.
