Dedicated to God's Service
Commentators explain that applying blood to the priests' right ear, thumb, and foot was deeply symbolic. It signified that every part of them was consecrated to God: their ears to hear His commands, their hands to perform His work, and their feet to walk in His ways. The use of the 'right' side, considered the strongest, underscored a total commitment to executing God's will.
