Leviticus 4:24 - John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Bible Comments

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat,.... His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; Leviticus 1:4

and kill it; not the prince, but the priest after mentioned, or the butcher, as the same Targum:

in the place where they hill the burnt offering before the Lord; in the court on the north side of the altar, see Leviticus 1:11:

it is a sin offering: an offering for his sin of ignorance, or "sin"; so Christ our offering is said to be, 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Leviticus 4:24

24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.
