Leviticus 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 3:7

If he offer a lamb for his offering
Which was of the flock, and must be of the first year; this is a rule laid down by Maimonides F9, that where ever this word is used in the law, it signifies one of the first year:

then shall he offer it before the Lord;
bring it into the court, and present it to the priest.

5 adolebuntque ea super altare in holocaustum lignis igne subposito in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino
6 si vero de ovibus fuerit eius oblatio et pacificorum hostia sive masculum sive feminam obtulerit inmaculata erunt
7 si agnum obtulerit coram Domino
8 ponet manum super caput victimae suae quae immolabitur in vestibulo tabernaculi testimonii fundentque filii Aaron sanguinem eius per altaris circuitum
