Leviticus 4:24

Leviticus 4:24 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:24

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat
His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:4)

and kill it;
not the prince, but the priest after mentioned, or the butcher, as the same Targum:

in the place where they hill the burnt offering before the Lord;
in the court on the north side of the altar, see ( Leviticus 1:11 ) ( 6:25 ) :

it is a sin offering:
an offering for his sin of ignorance, or "sin"; so Christ our offering is said to be, ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 ) .

Leviticus 4:24 In-Context

22 si peccaverit princeps et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam quod Domini lege prohibetur
23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum offeret hostiam Domino hircum de capris inmaculatum
24 ponetque manum suam super caput eius cumque immolaverit eum in loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino quia pro peccato est
25 tinguet sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiae pro peccato tangens cornua altaris holocausti et reliquum fundens ad basim eius
26 adipem vero adolebit supra sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet rogabitque pro eo et pro peccato eius ac dimittetur ei
