METZORAH

Those who exhibited the skin diseases that at that time were a sign of spiritual disconnection, these individuals were to shave off all the hairs on the body and then a Kohen would, from the sacrifices that the individual had brought, put blood on the right ear, the right finger and the right toe, and then he would put oil on these areas as well as pour over the individual’s shaven head.  The blood on these extremities of the toe and finger were there as these body parts are furthest from the heart and often lead us into troubles as does the ear hearing lashon hara.
