They would introduce material like dirt or gunpowder to prevent the wounds from healing in a normal fashion, leaving a noticeable scar. The scar was to be displayed to mutual enemies to put them on notice of the covenant relationship and commitments of the contracting parties.

Father God told Jesus in Isaiah 49:16 that He had engraved Jesus on the palm of His hands. In Isaiah 55:5, the prophet talks about the Messiah being pierced for our transgressions. The mark on the hands of Jesus puts the Adversary on notice that Jesus is our covenant representative.

One of the terms of the New Covenant is that the Father agrees to forgive a repentant, sinful mankind in exchange for the sacrificial blood of Jesus becoming the redeeming instrumentality for the reconciling of God and man.

(2Cor.5:21) (also known as imputed righteousness
