Leviticus 3:8 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:8

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering
The Targum of Jonathan adds here, as before,

``his right hand with strength:''

and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation;
in the court, in any part of it; for, as Gersom says, all places were right for this; the man that brought it killed it, or the butcher, as the Targum of Jonathan says here also as on ( Leviticus 3:2 ) :

and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the
altar; upon the four horns of it, (See Gill on Leviticus 3:2).

6 " 'But if his offering for a sacrifice of fellowship offering for Yahweh [is] from the flock, he must bring a male or a female without defect.

7 If he brings a sheep [as] his offering, then he shall present it before Yahweh,

8 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and he shall slaughter it before the tent of assembly, and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around.

9 He shall present from the sacrifice of the fellowship offering an offering made by fire for Yahweh: he must remove its fat, the entire fat tail near the tailbone, and the fat covering the inner parts and all the fat that [is] on the inner parts,

10 the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which [is] on the loins, and he must remove the lobe on the liver in addition to the kidneys.
