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 Then the priest must remove all the goat's fat in the same way the fat is removed from the fellowship offerings. He must burn it on the altar as a smell pleasing to the Lord. In this way the priest will remove that person's sin so he will belong to the Lord, and the Lord will forgive him.

32 "'If this person brings a lamb as his offering for sin, he must bring a female that has nothing wrong with it.

33 He must put his hand on the animal's head and kill it as a sin offering in the place where the whole burnt offering is killed.

34 The priest must take some of the blood from the sin offering on his finger and put it on the corners of the altar of burnt offering. He must pour out the rest of the lamb's blood at the bottom of the altar.

35 Then the priest must remove all the lamb's fat in the same way that the lamb's fat is removed from the fellowship offerings. He must burn the pieces on the altar on top of the offerings made by fire for the Lord. In this way the priest will remove that person's sins so he will belong to the Lord, and the Lord will forgive him.
