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 the fat in the same way the fat is removed from the friendship offering. He must burn it on the altar. It gives a smell that is pleasant to the Lord. When the priest burns the offering, he will pay for the sin of that person. And he will be forgiven.

32 " 'Suppose he brings a lamb as his sin offering. Then he must bring a female animal. It must not have any flaws.

33 He must place his hand on its head. He must kill it as a sin offering. He must do it at the place where the animals for burnt offerings are killed.

34 " 'Then the priest must dip his finger into some of the blood of the sin offering. He must put it on the horns that stick out from the upper four corners of the altar for burnt offerings. He must pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.

35 " 'He must remove all of the fat in the same way the fat is removed from the lamb for the friendship offering. He must burn it on the altar on top of the offerings that are made to the LORD with fire. When he does, he will pay for the sin that person has committed. And he will be forgiven.
