Blood on the Right Ear

Pastor Mac read this on Sunday, July 21, 2024, 11 a.m.

I got this text from Kenneth Copeland and it blessed my heart.

“You’re going to love this, Mac. In the Bible, the concept of blood on the right ear in Leviticus 8:22 and 14:28 serves as a visible mark of consecration, signifying that the person is dedicated to God’s service and has been set apart for a specific purpose. This act represents a physical and spiritual transformation, preparing the individual for their sacred role.

“Here’s a breakdown of the significance.

“Right ear: The right ear represents hearing and obedience. In ancient times, the right ear was considered the most important ear, as it was the ear that heard the Word of God.

“Blood represents life, sacrifice, and atonement. In this context, the blood is a symbol of purification and consecration. Consecration means to set something or someone apart for a specific purpose, making it holy and dedicated to God. In this case, the blood on the right ear signifies that the person is being set apart for a sacred task or role.

“Priestly consecration in Leviticus 8: The blood is applied to the right ear of Aaron and his sons consecrating them as priests. This act sets them apart as mediators between God and the people.

Lev. 8:22–23, And he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 23 and Moses killed it. Also he took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

“Purification in Leviticus 14: The blood is applied to the right ear of the person being cleansed, symbolizing their purification and restoration to the community.

Lev. 14:28, And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

“God bless America for daily prayer and encouragement.”
