Leviticus 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:4

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord
As the bullock of the burnt offering; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:3):

and shall lay his hand on the bullock's head;
the Targum of Jonathan says his right hand; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:4):

and kill the bullock before the Lord;
at the door of the tabernacle, that is, in the court, as Gersom observes; according to the above Targum, the butcher killed it, and not the priest: (See Gill on Leviticus 1:5) all this is typical of the imputation of sin to Christ, and of his death.

Leviticus 4:4 In-Context

2 "Tell the Israelites: When a person sins unintentionally by straying from any of God's commands, breaking what must not be broken,
3 if it's the anointed priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he is to bring a bull without defect to God as an Absolution-Offering for the sin he has committed.
4 Have him bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting in the presence of God, lay his hand on the bull's head, and slaughter the bull before God.
5 He is then to take some of the bull's blood, bring it into the Tent of Meeting,
6 dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of it seven times before God, before the curtain of the Sanctuary.
