Leviticus 3:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:13

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it

Leviticus 3:13 In-Context

11 Then the priest will burn these parts on the altar as food; it will be an offering made by fire to the Lord.
12 "'If a person's offering is a goat, he must offer it before the Lord
13 and put his hand on its head. Then he must kill it in front of the Meeting Tent, and the priests must sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.
14 From this offering the person must make a sacrifice by fire to the Lord. He must offer all the fat of the goat's inner organs (both the fat that is in them and that covers them),
15 both kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the best part of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys.
