Right Right Right

In my mind’s eye I can see Moses dabbing a bit of blood on Aaron’s right ear,

then his right thumb, then his right big toe, just as God told him to do (Lev 8.23).

Then he followed (Lev 8.24) with Aaron’s four boys—right right right, right right right, etc.

 

I am not sure why it so grabs my attention.

Maybe because it is a welcome change from pouring blood at the foot of the altar,

or sprinkling it here or there seven times.

 

I see it as rather picturesque, quite simple, extremely precise.

And it’s a nice touch

that it’s only for the Levitical priests—the elite Right-Side-Dab-of-Blood Club.

 

 

I imagine if we asked 30 smart guys the significance of it all,

they would be able to confuse us with 60 different answers.

So, fortunately, this morning we have no smart guys here,

just Marcos and you doing our musing.
