Leviticus 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 8:14

And he brought the bullock for the sin [offering]
To the tabernacle, into the court of it, to the altar of burnt offering there; that is, he caused it to be brought thither as he was ordered, ( Exodus 29:10 )

and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the
bullock for the sin [offering];
their right hands, according to the Targum of Jonathan, which is not improbable, thereby as it were transferring their sins to it, and confessing them over it; acknowledging their guilt, and that they deserved to die, as that creature would, which was to be a vicarious sacrifice for sin, and whose blood was to purify and sanctify the altar, at which they, sinful men, were to serve.
