"Believers are priests, too. Peter says believers are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). So what happened to the Old Testament priests is for our learning.
Believers should use their redeemed ears for the Lord. They need to hear the Lord speak, which He does through His Word.
Believers should use their redeemed thumbs (hands) for the Lord. They need to serve the Lord. As Paul says believers are to “through love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13).
Believers should use their redeemed big toe (feet) for the Lord. They need to walk by means of the Holy Spirit so that they do not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
Believers are to hear the Word of God, walk in the truth of the Word by depending on the Holy Spirit, and serve the Lord through love by serving people, not to be cleansed from sin, but because they have been cleansed by the blood of Christ.
Because the Lord has been merciful and gracious to us, we should present out bodies, our ears, our thumbs, and our toes, as living sacrifices to the Him (Romans 12:1)."

"Moses would then apply anointing oil, which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, over the blood on the priests right ear, right thumb, and right toe.
This is symbolic of the Holy Spirit responding to the blood and giving us the strength to keep our minds pure, our work holy, and our walk righteous."
