  • Hiligaynon: “The remaining oil on the palm of the priest he is-to-wipe on the head of the person. Then the priest is-to-offer the offering for becoming-clean. After this, the priest is-to-slaughter the burnt offering and he is-to-offer this on the altar together-with the gift offering. By-means-of this which- the priest -will-do in the presence of the LORD, the dirtiness/uncleanness of a person will-be-taken-(away) and he will- now -be-considered clean.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, to indicate that I declare that the person has been forgiven for having sinned.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
