and,sprinkle from/more_than the,oil in/on/at/with,finger,his seven times to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before (Some words not found in UHB: and,dip the=priest/officer DOM finger,his the,right from/more_than the,oil which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in palm,his the,left and,sprinkle from/more_than the,oil in/on/at/with,finger,his seven times to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH )

Although the object on which the priest is to sprinkle the oil is not specified, it is likely that the expression to the face of Yahweh refers to the direction of the Holy of Holies, where Yahweh lived among the Israelites. This action ritually cleanses the holy space where Yahweh lives of any impurity that the person who had the skin disease might have brought into the tent of meeting. It may be helpful to explain the significance of this action to your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation. Alternate translation: “and he shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times to the face of Yahweh so that the holy space where Yahweh lives might be cleansed from any potential impurity that the person who had the skin disease might have brought in”
