Leviticus 3:2 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And he shall lay his hand. — Unlike the laying of hands on the burnt offering, there was no confession of sin here, but the utterance of words of praise to God, and this might be done in any place of the court-yard which was most convenient for the offerer to kill the sacrifice.

At the door of the tabernacle. — Better, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. (See Leviticus 1:3.)

Aaron’s sons the priests. — Better, the sons of Aaron, the priests. (See Leviticus 1:5.)

Shall sprinkle. — Better, throw (see Leviticus 1:5).

Leviticus 3:2

2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
