Leviticus 4:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:29

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin
offering
His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; not the priest that shall offer it, but the man that has sinned, that brings it, thereby confessing his sin, and transferring it to the sacrifice:

and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering;
that is, on the north side of the altar.

Leviticus 4:29 In-Context

27 And if a soul of the people of the land should sin unwillingly, in doing a thing any of the commandments of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and shall transgress,

28 and his sin should be known to him, wherein he has sinned, then shall he bring a kid of the goats, a female without blemish shall he bring for his sin, which he has sinned.

29 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his sin-offering, and they shall slay the kid of the sin-offering in the place where they slay the whole-burnt-offerings.

30 And the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall put it on the horns of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings; and all its blood he shall pour forth by the foot of the altar.

31 And he shall take away all the fat, as the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offering, and the priest shall offer it on the altar for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and shall be forgiven him.
