Leviticus 8:24
He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about:

- Obtulit et filios Aaron : cumque de sanguine arietis immolati tetigisset extremum auriculæ singulorum dextræ, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, reliquum fudit super altare per circuitum :

- καὶ προσήγαγεν Μωυσῆς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρών· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος ἐπὶ τοὺς λοβοὺς τῶν ὤτων τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν δεξιῶν· καὶ προσέχεεν Μωσῆς τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κύκλῳ.
