14:15-17 In the ancient world, olive oil was commonly used to aid healing (see Isa 1:6; Luke 10:34). Its use here might symbolize the healing and cleansing of the infection, which allowed the person to return to the community. Perhaps it also represented restored union between God, the priest, and the worshiper.
