Levítico 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:2

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering
"His right hand with strength", the Targum of Jonathan says; perhaps both his hands were imposed; the Septuagint and Arabic versions read it in the plural number, "hands"; this same rite was used in the sacrifice of burnt offering, (See Gill on Leviticus 1:4); which might be done in any place in the court where it was slain, only with this difference: according to Maimonides ^F4, there was no confession of sin made at laying on of hands upon the peace offerings, but words of praise were spoken:

and kill it at the door of the congregation;
it seems as if it was not the priest, but the owner that brought it, and laid his hands on it, that killed it; and so the last mentioned writer says, that slaying the peace offering by a stranger was right; and as he and others ^F5 say, it might be slain in any part of the court; it was not obliged to be slain in the north part of it, as the burnt offering was, ( Leviticus 1:11 )

and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the
altar round about;
in like manner as the blood of the burnt offering was, and it was done with two sprinklings, which were as four {f}; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:5) this was typical of the blood of Christ, called "the blood of sprinkling".

Levítico 3:2 In-Context

1 “Quando a oferta de alguém for sacrifício de comunhão, assim se fará: se oferecer um animal do gado—seja macho seja fêmea—, apresentará ao SENHOR um animal sem defeito.

2 Porá a mão sobre a cabeça do animal, que será morto à entrada da Tenda do Encontro. Os descendentes de Arão, os sacerdotes, derramarão o sangue nos lados do altar.

3 Desse sacrifício de comunhão, oferta preparada no fogo, ele trará ao SENHOR toda a gordura que cobre as vísceras e está ligada a elas,

4 os dois rins com a gordura que os cobre e que está perto dos lombos, e o lóbulo do fígado, que ele removerá junto com os rins.

5 Os descendentes de Arão queimarão tudo isso em cima do holocausto que está sobre a lenha acesa no altar como oferta preparada no fogo, de aroma agradável ao SENHOR.
