the other ram, the ram of ordination
on Leviticus 8:22-24
Blood goes on the right earlobe, the thumb of the right hand and the big toe of the right foot. Leviticus 14:14 marks a cleansed leper at the same three places.
This site's exposition
put some of the blood on their right earlobes
The sons receive the same three marks as their father, one after another. The rest of the blood is then sprinkled on all sides of the altar, the same handling given the burnt offering at verse 19.

proposed
After the sin offering and burnt offering had been presented on their behalf, this was their peace offering, by which they declared the pleasure which they felt in entering upon the service of God and being brought into close communion with Him as the ministers of His sanctuary, together with their confident reliance on His grace to help them in all their sacred duties.
