Leviticus 3:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

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. Lay his hand upon the head of his offering - See this rite explained in Exodus 29:10 (note), and Leviticus 1:4 (note). "As the burnt-offering, (Leviticus 1).," says Mr. Ainsworth, "figured our reconciliation to God by the death of Christ, and the meat-offering, (Leviticus 2)., our sanctification in him before God, so this peace-offering signified both Christ's oblation of himself whereby he became our peace and salvation, (Ephesians 2:14-16; Acts 13:47; Hebrews 5:9; Hebrews 9:28), and our oblation of praise, thanksgiving, and prayer unto God."
