Exegesis
The final phrase al mekom dam haasham {עַל־מְקוֹם דַּם הָאָשָׁם | ʿal mə-qōm dām hā-ʼā-šām} ‘upon the place of the blood of the guilt offering’ closes the sequence by linking anointing precisely to the spot of sacrificial blood, reflecting theological connections between purification and atonement.
