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).

Leviticus 3:8 In-Context

6 "'If a person's fellowship offering to the Lord is a lamb or a goat, it may be a male or female, but it must have nothing wrong with it.

7 If he offers a lamb, he must bring it before the Lord

8 and put his hand on its head. Then he must kill the animal in front of the Meeting Tent, and the priests must sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

9 From the fellowship offering the person must make a sacrifice by fire to the Lord. He must bring the fat, the whole fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat of the inner organs (both the fat that is in them and that covers them),

10 both kidneys with the fat that is on them, near the lower back muscle, and the best part of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.
