Hello Kstott. When the Bible speaks of blood, whether of animals or man, it denotes the miracle of life given us by God; "for the life of the flesh is in the blood" ( Leviticus 17:11). As all mankind are born with sinful flesh, with a propensity to sin & violate the holy requirements of God ( Romans 3:23), God being both loving & just, is compelled to either condemn us or forgive us. To condemn would be simple, as we fully deserve the penalty of our sins ( Romans 6:23), but God reached out to us in our miserable hopeless state & provided a way of hope, healing & restoration.
To His people Israel of old, God instituted the sacrificial system where the high priest would offer the blood of animals to atone for their sins & reconcile them to God ( Leviticus 8:15; Exodus 30:10). It was a case of the people either dying in their sins or that a substitute was provided on their behalf so their lives were spared. At this time, animals were sacrificed & their blood shed (i.e. their life given), & this was accepted by God to forgive them. But this was done yearly, because the blood offering of animals could never be permanent as this was man's offering to God, to stay God's Hand from them. But God had planned a future day, when He Himself would offer His Sacrifice to fully atone & redeem His people - & this Sacrifice would be made available to both Jew & Gentile. And this Sacrifice was God Himself, in sending His Word to become man ( John 1:1-14) & giving His Life as the only Pure & Perfect Sacrifice that would be fully acceptable to Him.
Apologies for the delay in responding to your question, KD7IVS.
We see these names, Urim & Thummim mentioned in various passages (e.g. Exodus 28:30, Leviticus 8:8, Numbers 27:21). Not much is known about them (there is even ignorance & debate amongst the Jews about this), except that they were likely stones (maybe precious stones) that were placed in the Jewish high priest's "breastplate of judgement"; sometimes referred to as the "breastplate of decision". Within that breastplate were also the names of the 12 tribes of Israel, so it appears that there might be a connection there, where the high priest used these stones to determine God's Will in certain situations concerning Israel.
How God chose to guide the priest to a correct judgement/decision is not told us: whether by the appearance of Light (Urim) or Perfections or declaration of Truth (Thummim). In 1 Samuel 28:6 which you referred to, we read of King Saul making enquiry of the LORD, but the LORD did not speak to him, whether by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by the prophets. This then seems to be some of the ways that God revealed His Word to His people, and these stones, Urim & Thummin, were used by the High Priest to learn the answer from God for the people.
This Psalm discusses in the first five verses a description of a mighty warrior of valor; with characteristics of "truth; meekness and righteousness" in verse 3. The description in verse 2; however about being fairer than the children of men would certainly seem to portray the future Messiah; or at least an angelic being.
Verse 6 clearly describes God. Verse 7 discusses God Himself anointing someone; which likely represents only the Messiah Himself. There were special formulas for priests to administer to kings in the O.T. as specified in Leviticus 8:30; as well as Exodus 29 and 30.
Verse 8 discusses Myrrh which was one of the spices brought to Christ ( Matthew 2:11).
The remainder of the Psalm except for the last verse could describe the nuptuals and marriage bonds such as found in the Song of Solomon. We are also reminded of the story of Ruth who left her own people and was blessed for joining Naomi and the Jews; and eventually was part of he royal lineage from the sentiments in verse 10.
Verse 16 could describe spiritual offspring; and relate to us as in Revelation 5:10 being "kings and priests on the earth". The last verse also seems to indicate Christ being "remembered in all generations." The whole Psalm is likely a depiction of David as seen by those writing it for the sons of Korah for worship.
as the high priest. After preparing and consecrating all of the offerings, Moses took some anointing oil and some blood from the altar where the sacrifices were burning and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on their garments. Thus fully consecrating them from head to toe. We, too, are anointed with the blood of Jesus and the oil of the Holy Spirit to consecrate us to God for the service He has determined for us to do in our lives. The priests served every day. So do we.
After all of this Moses told Aaron to boil the flesh of the ram at the door of the tabernacle and then he and his sons were to eat it with the bread that remained of the consecrated bread. They were to eat in within the tabernacle enclosure and they could not leave the tabernacle for 7 days. Thus they were atoned for and consecrated to YHWH. Their "dwelling" was in the tent of YHWH for this time.
We are "in Christ" when we are saved. We are set apart for service to God for the rest of our lives just as the priest were to spend all of their lives serving YHWH through these ordinances and rites.
Jesus is our High Priest. His human nature was consecrated to the Father from the moment of His conception in Mary. He lived His human life in obedience to God without ever sinning, so He was the Perfect One to which all of these sacrifices and anointings shadowed. The chapter ends with Aaron and his sons doing all that the LORD had commanded. That is what Jesus did, only He did this for all of His human life, never faltering, never disobeying, never unwilling. He said that His food was to do the will of His Father. Praise be to Him. He is everything we need to be saved and to be made priests unto God!
of the world, assenting to the eternal plan and covenant made between the members of the Godhead for the redemption of sinful humans. Jesus agreed to cloth his Deity with humanity to become the perfect sacrifice for atonement for sin, the perfect burnt offering for the mediation of the covenant between mankind and YHWH, and the perfect offering that consecrated all believers as priest unto God. All these sacrifices were done upon the cross of Christ.
Moses took some of the blood of the consecrated ram and anointed Aaron and his sons with it, placing it on their right ear, right thumb, and big toe of their right foot.
He took one loave from the basket of unleavened bread, and one cake, and one wafer and put them upon the fat on the right thigh of the sacrifice. Moses gave these breads to Aaron and his sons, placing them in their hands and they waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. Then Moses put them on the burnt offering where they were consumed. This most likely represents that the priests are to have clean, consecrated hands, refined by fire (so to speak). Perhaps placing the blood on the ear, thumb, and foot represents that the priests are to hear from God, serve God with their hands, and walk with God in a holy way.
Moses took the breast of the ram and waved it before the Lord.
To go back to prior to the sacrifices, Moses dressed Aaron in the high priest garments and his sons in priestly garments. Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, thus consecrating them to YHWH. He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times, and anointed all of its utensils, the laver and its base. He then poured anointing oil upon the head of Aaron to consecrate him...
After the offerings/sacrifices, Moses washed Aaron and his sons with water from the laver anointed Aaron and his sons with oil and blood. He anointed the altar and the laver and all of the other furnishings with blood. He
In this chapter God puts into practice all that He had instructed Moses and the people of concerning offerings and sacrifices.
This whole chapter is about consecrating the tabernacle and furnishings, the high priests and his sons, and the animals to be sacrificed.
The tent of meeting was completed and set up. Moses is designated by God to perform the rites of consecration. He is acting in the stead of God in this work. Moses alone had spent time on Mt. Sinai in the Presence of YHWH for 40 days and 40 nights. He alone was equipped to represent God to the Israelites.
There were four offerings/sacrifices given unto God in this chapter: First the sin sacrifice for the sins of Aaron and his sons. Then the burnt offering. Next, the consecration offering. And last, the grain offering.
Aaron and his sons needed to have their sins atoned for before they could be consecrated for the work of priesthood. We, too, need to have our sins atoned for before we can rightly serve God. Jesus is our atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The burnt offering was made. This was the first one of the many to follow that will be offered morning and evening for as long as God determined (these offerings stopped when Jerusalem was sacked and made desolate by the Romans in 70 A.D., with the temple bring destroyed for good). Jesus is our Mediator, like the burnt offering, which opens up the way for anyone to come to the Father. The Israelites and especially the priests, could not just waltz up to YHWH and perform priestly duties without this offering being done after their sin offering was offered. We all need a mediator between us and the Father in order for us to approach Him. This Mediator ever opens the way to the Father.
Next, the consecration offering is made. This offering was only for Aaron and the priests when they are initially consecrated before YHWH to begin to perform their priestly duties. Jesus is our High Priest, consecrated from before the foundations....
Lev, 8:23 And he slew it.-Better, and he killed, as the same word is rendered in the Authorized Version in Leviticus 8:19, that is, Moses killed it.
And put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear.-To teach him that, as the mediator between God and His people, it was his bounden duty to hearken to the commandments of the Lord.
And upon the thumb of his right hand.-To remind him that henceforth he is to execute God's will, and walk in the way of His commandments. And he {f} slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
(f) Moses did this because the priests were not yet established in their office.
***Learning of the bible is great but keep in mind, after Jesus BDR we do not do these things any more. God sacrificed His son for our sins. NOTHING else needs to be done or your telling God "what you did wasn't enough so I'm doing to do this or that to add to what you did. NOTHING needs to be added. God sent His son to die for our sins...period. Jesus's last words said it ALL.. "It is finished."
Hi Jesse, if you know some unleavened elders, please look at James 5 - remember 2 Cor 12:7-10 - Phil 4:11 - 1 Thess 5:18
James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Some points to consider on it:
1. According to the Bible, only men can be elders ( 1 Timothy 2:11-15 - 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 - 1 Timothy 3:1-2 - Titus 1:6)
2. The anointing oil needs to be done; it's not "just medicinal" like some teach - (Read Mark 6:7 & 6:12-13 those were clearly supernatural healings, and yet they still used the anointing oil - when they anointed in the Old Testament, they simply poured oil on someone's head ( Leviticus 8:12 - 2 Kings 9:6 - 1 Samuel 10:1) - you don't need any man to "bless the oil", the Bible did not say to do that - the anointing simply needs to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. It says "the prayer of faith shall save the sick", so I encourage everyone to be praying that God will give the gift of faith to both parties during that time - earlier in James, it shows us faith is essential when praying, otherwise "...let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." ( James 1:6-7)
-
And a short gospel message - Jesus said "...repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Repent in that context is godly sorrow for having broken God's commandments ( 2 Cor 7:8-11)
Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Hi Debbie, please ask your husband if he can look at what the king James Bible says in James 5 about sickness:
James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

If anything shows up (and she is a Christian), please show her this passage from the King James Bible:

James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Some points to consider on it:
1. According to the Bible, only men can be elders ( 1 Timothy 2:11-15 - 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 - 1 Timothy 3:1-2 - Titus 1:6)
2. The anointing oil needs to be done; it's not "just medicinal" like some teach - (Read Mark 6:7 & 6:12-13 those were clearly supernatural healings, and yet they still used the anointing oil - when they anointed in the Old Testament, they simply poured oil on someone's head ( Leviticus 8:12 - 2 Kings 9:6 - 1 Samuel 10:1) - you don't need any man to "bless the oil", the Bible did not say to do that - the anointing simply needs to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. It says "the prayer of faith shall save the sick", so I encourage everyone to be praying that God will give the gift of faith to both parties during that time - earlier in James, it shows us faith is essential when praying, otherwise "...let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." ( James 1:6-7)
-
And a short gospel message - Jesus said "...repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Repent in that context is godly sorrow for having broken God's commandments ( 2 Cor 7:8-11)
Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
God miraculously healed me; I don't know the details, but if your mom is considered "sick" (and is a Christian):

If you don't have access to elders (because there is a lot of leaven out there), you can still "call for the elders of the church" in your prayers to the Lord, and He can bring them to you. But until then, there is some natrual things you can do for hypothyroidism - You don't need to do Keto (as all God's foods are acceptable 1 Timothy 4), but I did find a lot of info in these YouTube Dr.Berg videos helpful:

Hello Kstott. When the Bible speaks of blood, whether of animals or man, it denotes the miracle of life given us by God; "for the life of the flesh is in the blood" ( Leviticus 17:11). As all mankind are born with sinful flesh, with a propensity to sin & violate the holy requirements of God ( Romans 3:23), God being both loving & just, is compelled to either condemn us or forgive us. To condemn would be simple, as we fully deserve the penalty of our sins ( Romans 6:23), but God reached out to us in our miserable hopeless state & provided a way of hope, healing & restoration.
To His people Israel of old, God instituted the sacrificial system where the high priest would offer the blood of animals to atone for their sins & reconcile them to God ( Leviticus 8:15; Exodus 30:10). It was a case of the people either dying in their sins or that a substitute was provided on their behalf so their lives were spared. At this time, animals were sacrificed & their blood shed (i.e. their life given), & this was accepted by God to forgive them. But this was done yearly, because the blood offering of animals could never be permanent as this was man's offering to God, to stay God's Hand from them. But God had planned a future day, when He Himself would offer His Sacrifice to fully atone & redeem His people - & this Sacrifice would be made available to both Jew & Gentile. And this Sacrifice was God Himself, in sending His Word to become man ( John 1:1-14) & giving His Life as the only Pure & Perfect Sacrifice that would be fully acceptable to Him.
We see these names, Urim & Thummim mentioned in various passages (e.g. Exodus 28:30, Leviticus 8:8, Numbers 27:21). Not much is known about them (there is even ignorance & debate amongst the Jews about this), except that they were likely stones (maybe precious stones) that were placed in the Jewish high priest's "breastplate of judgement"; sometimes referred to as the "breastplate of decision". Within that breastplate were also the names of the 12 tribes of Israel, so it appears that there might be a connection there, where the high priest used these stones to determine God's Will in certain situations concerning Israel.
How God chose to guide the priest to a correct judgement/decision is not told us: whether by the appearance of Light (Urim) or Perfections or declaration of Truth (Thummim). In 1 Samuel 28:6 which you referred to, we read of King Saul making enquiry of the LORD, but the LORD did not speak to him, whether by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by the prophets. This then seems to be some of the ways that God revealed His Word to His people, and these stones, Urim & Thummin, were used by the High Priest to learn the answer from God for the people.
This Psalm discusses in the first five verses a description of a mighty warrior of valor; with characteristics of "truth; meekness and righteousness" in verse 3. The description in verse 2; however about being fairer than the children of men would certainly seem to portray the future Messiah; or at least an angelic being.
Verse 6 clearly describes God. Verse 7 discusses God Himself anointing someone; which likely represents only the Messiah Himself. There were special formulas for priests to administer to kings in the O.T. as specified in Leviticus 8:30; as well as Exodus 29 and 30.
Verse 8 discusses Myrrh which was one of the spices brought to Christ ( Matthew 2:11).
The remainder of the Psalm except for the last verse could describe the nuptuals and marriage bonds such as found in the Song of Solomon. We are also reminded of the story of Ruth who left her own people and was blessed for joining Naomi and the Jews; and eventually was part of he royal lineage from the sentiments in verse 10.
Verse 16 could describe spiritual offspring; and relate to us as in Revelation 5:10 being "kings and priests on the earth". The last verse also seems to indicate Christ being "remembered in all generations." The whole Psalm is likely a depiction of David as seen by those writing it for the sons of Korah for worship.
as the high priest. After preparing and consecrating all of the offerings, Moses took some anointing oil and some blood from the altar where the sacrifices were burning and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, on his sons, and on their garments. Thus fully consecrating them from head to toe. We, too, are anointed with the blood of Jesus and the oil of the Holy Spirit to consecrate us to God for the service He has determined for us to do in our lives. The priests served every day. So do we.
After all of this Moses told Aaron to boil the flesh of the ram at the door of the tabernacle and then he and his sons were to eat it with the bread that remained of the consecrated bread. They were to eat in within the tabernacle enclosure and they could not leave the tabernacle for 7 days. Thus they were atoned for and consecrated to YHWH. Their "dwelling" was in the tent of YHWH for this time.
We are "in Christ" when we are saved. We are set apart for service to God for the rest of our lives just as the priest were to spend all of their lives serving YHWH through these ordinances and rites.
Jesus is our High Priest. His human nature was consecrated to the Father from the moment of His conception in Mary. He lived His human life in obedience to God without ever sinning, so He was the Perfect One to which all of these sacrifices and anointings shadowed. The chapter ends with Aaron and his sons doing all that the LORD had commanded. That is what Jesus did, only He did this for all of His human life, never faltering, never disobeying, never unwilling. He said that His food was to do the will of His Father. Praise be to Him. He is everything we need to be saved and to be made priests unto God!
of the world, assenting to the eternal plan and covenant made between the members of the Godhead for the redemption of sinful humans. Jesus agreed to cloth his Deity with humanity to become the perfect sacrifice for atonement for sin, the perfect burnt offering for the mediation of the covenant between mankind and YHWH, and the perfect offering that consecrated all believers as priest unto God. All these sacrifices were done upon the cross of Christ.
Moses took some of the blood of the consecrated ram and anointed Aaron and his sons with it, placing it on their right ear, right thumb, and big toe of their right foot.
He took one loave from the basket of unleavened bread, and one cake, and one wafer and put them upon the fat on the right thigh of the sacrifice. Moses gave these breads to Aaron and his sons, placing them in their hands and they waved them as a wave offering before the Lord. Then Moses put them on the burnt offering where they were consumed. This most likely represents that the priests are to have clean, consecrated hands, refined by fire (so to speak). Perhaps placing the blood on the ear, thumb, and foot represents that the priests are to hear from God, serve God with their hands, and walk with God in a holy way.
Moses took the breast of the ram and waved it before the Lord.
To go back to prior to the sacrifices, Moses dressed Aaron in the high priest garments and his sons in priestly garments. Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, thus consecrating them to YHWH. He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times, and anointed all of its utensils, the laver and its base. He then poured anointing oil upon the head of Aaron to consecrate him...
After the offerings/sacrifices, Moses washed Aaron and his sons with water from the laver anointed Aaron and his sons with oil and blood. He anointed the altar and the laver and all of the other furnishings with blood. He
In this chapter God puts into practice all that He had instructed Moses and the people of concerning offerings and sacrifices.
This whole chapter is about consecrating the tabernacle and furnishings, the high priests and his sons, and the animals to be sacrificed.
The tent of meeting was completed and set up. Moses is designated by God to perform the rites of consecration. He is acting in the stead of God in this work. Moses alone had spent time on Mt. Sinai in the Presence of YHWH for 40 days and 40 nights. He alone was equipped to represent God to the Israelites.
There were four offerings/sacrifices given unto God in this chapter: First the sin sacrifice for the sins of Aaron and his sons. Then the burnt offering. Next, the consecration offering. And last, the grain offering.
Aaron and his sons needed to have their sins atoned for before they could be consecrated for the work of priesthood. We, too, need to have our sins atoned for before we can rightly serve God. Jesus is our atoning sacrifice for our sins.
The burnt offering was made. This was the first one of the many to follow that will be offered morning and evening for as long as God determined (these offerings stopped when Jerusalem was sacked and made desolate by the Romans in 70 A.D., with the temple bring destroyed for good). Jesus is our Mediator, like the burnt offering, which opens up the way for anyone to come to the Father. The Israelites and especially the priests, could not just waltz up to YHWH and perform priestly duties without this offering being done after their sin offering was offered. We all need a mediator between us and the Father in order for us to approach Him. This Mediator ever opens the way to the Father.
Next, the consecration offering is made. This offering was only for Aaron and the priests when they are initially consecrated before YHWH to begin to perform their priestly duties. Jesus is our High Priest, consecrated from before the foundations....

And put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear.-To teach him that, as the mediator between God and His people, it was his bounden duty to hearken to the commandments of the Lord.
And upon the thumb of his right hand.-To remind him that henceforth he is to execute God's will, and walk in the way of His commandments. And he {f} slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
(f) Moses did this because the priests were not yet established in their office.
***Learning of the bible is great but keep in mind, after Jesus BDR we do not do these things any more. God sacrificed His son for our sins. NOTHING else needs to be done or your telling God "what you did wasn't enough so I'm doing to do this or that to add to what you did. NOTHING needs to be added. God sent His son to die for our sins...period. Jesus's last words said it ALL.. "It is finished."
Leviticus 9:6, Leviticus 9:16, Leviticus 9:23-24, Leviticus 14:14,17,25,28,
Exodus 29:20, possibly symbolic ear = Exodus 15:26, Psalms 10:17, Proverbs 28:9, Luke 12:3
Interestingly it was the high Priest's servant's right ear: Luke 22:50,51, John 18:10,11,12,
Additional scripture about toes & GOD's justice, Judges 1:6,7,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study
James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Some points to consider on it:
1. According to the Bible, only men can be elders ( 1 Timothy 2:11-15 - 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 - 1 Timothy 3:1-2 - Titus 1:6)
2. The anointing oil needs to be done; it's not "just medicinal" like some teach - (Read Mark 6:7 & 6:12-13 those were clearly supernatural healings, and yet they still used the anointing oil - when they anointed in the Old Testament, they simply poured oil on someone's head ( Leviticus 8:12 - 2 Kings 9:6 - 1 Samuel 10:1) - you don't need any man to "bless the oil", the Bible did not say to do that - the anointing simply needs to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. It says "the prayer of faith shall save the sick", so I encourage everyone to be praying that God will give the gift of faith to both parties during that time - earlier in James, it shows us faith is essential when praying, otherwise "...let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." ( James 1:6-7)
-
And a short gospel message - Jesus said "...repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Repent in that context is godly sorrow for having broken God's commandments ( 2 Cor 7:8-11)
Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

James 5 - 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Some points to consider about that passage:
1. According to the Bible, only men can be elders ( 1 Timothy 2:11-15 - 1 Corinthians 14:34-36 - 1 Timothy 3:1-2 - Titus 1:6)
2. The anointing oil needs to be done; it's not "just medicinal" like some teach - (Read Mark 6:7 & 6:12-13 those were clearly supernatural healings, and yet they still used the anointing oil - when they anointed in the Old Testament, they simply poured oil on someone's head ( Leviticus 8:12 - 2 Kings 9:6 - 1 Samuel 10:1) - you don't need any man to "bless the oil", the Bible did not say to do that - the anointing simply needs to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. It says "the prayer of faith shall save the sick", so I encourage everyone to be praying God will give the gift of faith to the mother, and the elders, otherwise, as it said earlier in James "...let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." ( James 1:6-7)"

If you don't have access to elders (because there is a lot of leaven out there), you can still "call for the elders of the church" in your prayers to the Lord, and He can bring them to you. But until then, there is some natrual things you can do for hypothyroidism - You don't need to do Keto (as all God's foods are acceptable 1 Timothy 4), but I did find a lot of info in these YouTube Dr.Berg videos helpful:
"Hypothyroidism May Not Be a Thyroid Problem But Hashimoto Thyreoiditis"
"How to Get Your Thyroid to Work Correctly"
Job 42
"1Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee."

I'm not sure if your dad is a Christian, but if he is, please show him James 5:14-16
"14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
