Leviticus 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:33

He shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering,
&c.] On the head of the lamb, as on the head of the goat, even his right hand, as the above Targum, as before:

and slay it for a sin offering, in the place where they kill the
burnt offering:
for if it was not slain for a sin offering, but for something else, or on any other account, as for a burnt offering, it was not right ^F17.

32 If you bring a sheep as a sin offering, it must be a female without any defects.

33 You shall put your hand on its head and kill it on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed.

34 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the animal, put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, and pour out the rest of it at the base of the altar.

35 Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat is removed from the sheep killed for the fellowship offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the food offerings given to the Lord. In this way the priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sin, and you will be forgiven.
