Each of these actions carries significant theological and spiritual implications within the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Laying on of Hands</b><br><br>The laying on of hands is a significant biblical practice used for blessing, healing, imparting the Holy Spirit, and commissioning individuals for service. In the Old Testament, the laying on of hands was used in sacrificial rituals, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/1-4.htm">Leviticus 1:4</a> : "He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him." This act symbolized the transfer of sin from the individual to the sacrificial animal.<br><br>In the New Testament, the laying on of hands is prominently featured in the ministry of Jesus and the early church. Jesus often laid hands on individuals to heal them, as in <a href="/mark/6-5.htm">Mark 6:5</a> : "So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them." The apostles continued this practice, as seen in <a href="/acts/8-17.htm">Acts 8:17</a> : "Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit."<br><br><b>Laying Down One's Life</b><br><br>The concept of laying down one's life is central to the message of the Gospel. Jesus Christ exemplified this ultimate act of love and sacrifice. In <a href="/john/10-17.htm">John 10:17-18</a> , Jesus declares, "The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father."<br><br>Believers are called to follow Christ's example by laying down their lives for others. In 1 <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a> , it is written, "By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."<br><br><b>Laying Foundations</b><br><br>The imagery of laying foundations is used metaphorically in Scripture to describe the establishment of faith and the building of God's kingdom. In <a href="/1_corinthians/3-11.htm">1 Corinthians 3:11</a> , Paul writes, "For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." This verse emphasizes that Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, and all teachings and practices must be built upon Him.<br><br>In the Old Testament, the laying of physical foundations for the temple and city walls symbolized the restoration and renewal of God's people. <a href="/ezra/3-10.htm">Ezra 3:10</a> describes the laying of the temple's foundation: "When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel."<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The act of laying, whether through hands, life, or foundations, is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, symbolizing transfer, sacrifice, and establishment. Each instance reflects a profound spiritual truth, calling believers to participate in the divine work of God through acts of faith, love, and obedience.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The tribe of Levi was set apart by solemn imposition of hands (<a href="/numbers/8-10.htm">Numbers 8:10</a>); Moses appointed Joshua to be his successor by a similar act (<a href="/numbers/27-18.htm">Numbers 27:18, 23</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/34-9.htm">Deuteronomy 34:9</a>). The idea in these cases varies with the purpose of the act. The primary idea seems to be that of conveyance or transference (compare <a href="/leviticus/16-21.htm">Leviticus 16:21</a>), but, conjoined with this, in certain instances, are the ideas of identification and of devotion to God.<br><br>In the New Testament Jesus laid hands on the little children (<a href="/matthew/19-13.htm">Matthew 19:13, 15</a> parallel <a href="/mark/10-16.htm">Mark 10:16</a>) and on the sick (<a href="/matthew/9-18.htm">Matthew 9:18</a> <a href="/mark/6-5.htm">Mark 6:5</a>, etc.), and the apostles laid hands on those whom they baptized that they might receive the Holy Spirit (<a href="/acts/8-17.htm">Acts 8:17, 19</a>; <a href="/acts/19-6.htm">Acts 19:6</a>), and in healing (<a href="/acts/12-17.htm">Acts 12:17</a>). Specially the imposition of hands was used in the setting apart of persons to a particular office or work in the church. This is noticed as taking place in the appointment of the Seven (<a href="/acts/6-6.htm">Acts 6:6</a>), in the sending out of Barnabas and Saul (<a href="/acts/13-3.htm">Acts 13:3</a>), at the ordination of Timothy (<a href="/1_timothy/4-14.htm">1 Timothy 4:14</a> <a href="/2_timothy/1-6.htm">2 Timothy 1:6</a>), but though not directly mentioned, it seems likely that it accompanied all acts of ordination of presbyters and deacons (compare <a href="/1_timothy/5-22.htm">1 Timothy 5:22</a> <a href="/hebrews/6-2.htm">Hebrews 6:2</a>). The presbyters could hardly convey what they had not themselves received (<a href="/1_timothy/1-14.htm">1 Timothy 1:14</a>). Here again the fundamental idea is communication. The act of laying on of hands was accompanied by prayer (<a href="/acts/6-6.htm">Acts 6:6</a>; <a href="/acts/8-15.htm">Acts 8:15</a>; <a href="/acts/13-3.htm">Acts 13:3</a>), and the blessing sought was imparted by God Himself. No ground is afforded by this symbolical action for a sacrament of "Orders."<br><br>See <a href="../s/sacrifice.htm">SACRIFICE</a>; <a href="../m/ministry.htm">MINISTRY</a>; ORDINATION.<br><br>James Orr<p><span class="encheading">LAY; LAYING</span><p>la, la'-ing:<br><br>(1) sim, "to put," and the Greek equivalent, tithemi, are very frequently translated by "to lay." the Revised Version (British and American) very often changes the King James Version rendering of sim, but never that of tithemi: <a href="/1_samuel/15-2.htm">1 Samuel 15:2</a>, "how he set himself against him in the way" (the King James Version "he laid wait for him"); <a href="/2_kings/11-16.htm">2 Kings 11:16</a>, "So they made way for her" (the King James Version "And they laid hands on her"); compare <a href="/2_chronicles/23-15.htm">2 Chronicles 23:15</a> <a href="/job/24-12.htm">Job 24:12</a>, "God regardeth not the folly" (the King James Version "God layeth not folly"); <a href="/job/34-23.htm">Job 34:23</a>, "For he needeth not further to consider a man" (the King James Version "For he will not lay upon man more"); <a href="/isaiah/28-17.htm">Isaiah 28:17</a>, "And I will make justice the line" (the King James Version "Judgment also will I lay to the line"); <a href="/job/17-3.htm">Job 17:3</a>, "Give now a pledge" (the King James Version "Lay down now").<br><br>(2) nathan, literally, "to give," is very commonly translated by "to lay." the Revised Version (British and American) changes the translation of the King James Version in <a href="/ezekiel/4-5.htm">Ezekiel 4:5</a>, "I have appointed"; <a href="/ezekiel/33-28.htm">Ezekiel 33:28</a>, "I will make the land a desolation" (the King James Version "I will lay the land most desolate").<br><br>(3) "To lay" of the King James Version is frequently rendered differently in the Revised Version (British and American); <a href="/isaiah/54-11.htm">Isaiah 54:11</a>, "I will set thy stones" (the King James Version "lay thy stones"); <a href="/deuteronomy/29-22.htm">Deuteronomy 29:22</a>, "the sicknesses wherewith Yahweh hath made it sick" (the King James Version "sicknesses which the Lord hath laid upon"). For other differences of the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version compare <a href="/deuteronomy/21-8.htm">Deuteronomy 21:8</a> <a href="/2_kings/9-25.htm">2 Kings 9:25</a> m; <a href="/2_kings/12-11.htm">2 Kings 12:11</a> <a href="/ezra/8-31.htm">Ezra 8:31</a> <a href="/psalms/104-5.htm">Psalm 104:5</a> m; <a href="/isaiah/53-6.htm">Isaiah 53:6</a> <a href="/jeremiah/5-26.htm">Jeremiah 5:26</a> <a href="/mark/7-8.htm">Mark 7:8</a> <a href="/luke/19-44.htm">Luke 19:44</a> <a href="/james/1-21.htm">James 1:21</a> <a href="/1_peter/2-1.htm">1 Peter 2:1</a>. In most of these passages the change of the Revised Version (British and American) is due to the peculiar use of the word "to lay" in the King James Version. The following expressions are found very frequently: "to lay hands on," "to lay wait," "to lay up," "to lay aside," "to lay upon," "to lay down," etc.<br><br>"Laying of wait," the King James Version, is rendered "lying in wait" in <a href="/numbers/35-20.htm">Numbers 35:20</a>;; <a href="/acts/9-24.htm">Acts 9:24</a> reads: "But their plot became known" (the King James Version "But their laying await was known").
