Leviticus 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:4

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord
As the bullock of the burnt offering; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:3):

and shall lay his hand on the bullock's head;
the Targum of Jonathan says his right hand; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:4):

and kill the bullock before the Lord;
at the door of the tabernacle, that is, in the court, as Gersom observes; according to the above Targum, the butcher killed it, and not the priest: (See Gill on Leviticus 1:5) all this is typical of the imputation of sin to Christ, and of his death.

Leviticus 4:4 In-Context

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done and shall do any of them,

3 if the priest that is anointed sins according to the guiltiness of the people, he shall offer for his sin, which he has committed, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for his sin.

4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the LORD and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head and kill the bullock before the LORD.

5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of the testimony;

6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary.
