Context of Leviticus 14:14

12The priest must take one of the male sheep and the oil. He must lift them up to the Lord as a gift. 13He must kill the sheep at the north side of the altar. That is where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering. The gift is holy. It is food for the priests. The priest must put some of the blood on the lowest part of the person's right ear. He must put blood on the thumb of the person's right hand. And he must put blood on the big toe of the person's right foot. 15The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand. 16He must put a finger from his right hand into the oil. He must shake the oil seven times in front of the Lord's altar.
