Context of Leviticus 14:17

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. The priest must put oil on the lowest part of the person's right ear. He must put some of the oil on the thumb of the person's right hand. He must put some of the oil on the big toe of the person's right foot. He will put the oil on top of the offering's blood. 18The priest must put the oil that he did not use on the person's head. This makes his atonement in front of the Lord. 19Then the priest must offer the sin offering. That will make atonement for the man who will become clean. Then the priest must kill another sheep. It is a burnt offering.
