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.

Leviticus 4:33 In-Context

31 He must remove all of its fat {just as} [the] fat was removed from the fellowship offerings' sacrifice, and the priest shall turn [it] into smoke on the altar as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. The priest shall make atonement for him, and {he will be forgiven}.

32 " 'But if he brings a lamb [as] his offering for a sin offering, he must bring a female without defect.

33 He shall place his hand on the sin offering's head, and he shall slaughter it as a sin offering in the place where he slaughtered the burnt offering.

34 The priest shall take {some of} the sin offering's blood with his finger, and he shall put [it] on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering, and he must pour out all [the rest] of its blood on the altar's base.

35 He must remove all of its fat {just as} the lamb's fat from the fellowship offerings' sacrifice was removed, and the priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar upon Yahweh's offerings made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him because of his sin that he {committed}, and {he will be forgiven}.'"
