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 And if a ruler sin, and break one of all the commands of the Lord his God, which ought not to be done, unwillingly, and shall sin and trespass,

23 and his trespass wherein he has sinned, be known to him, then shall he offer for his gift a kid of the goats, a male without blemish.

24 And he shall lay his hand on the head of the kid, and they shall kill it in the place where they kill the whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord; it is a sin-offering.

25 And the priest shall put some of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger on the horns of the altar of whole-burnt-offering; and he shall pour out all its blood by the bottom of the altar of whole-burnt-offerings.

26 And he shall offer up all his fat on the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
