Leviticus 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:33

He shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering,
&c.] On the head of the lamb, as on the head of the goat, even his right hand, as the above Targum, as before:

and slay it for a sin offering, in the place where they kill the
burnt offering:
for if it was not slain for a sin offering, but for something else, or on any other account, as for a burnt offering, it was not right ^F17.
