Leviticus 4:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 4:29

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin
offering
His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; not the priest that shall offer it, but the man that has sinned, that brings it, thereby confessing his sin, and transferring it to the sacrifice:

and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering;
that is, on the north side of the altar.

Leviticus 4:29 In-Context

27 “If any of the common people sin by violating one of the LORD ’s commands, but they don’t realize it, they are still guilty.

28 When they become aware of their sin, they must bring as an offering for their sin a female goat with no defects.

29 They must lay a hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place where burnt offerings are slaughtered.

30 Then the priest will dip his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar for burnt offerings. He will pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

31 Then he must remove all the goat’s fat, just as he does with the fat of the peace offering. He will burn the fat on the altar, and it will be a pleasing aroma to the LORD . Through this process, the priest will purify the people, making them right with the LORD, and they will be forgiven.
