It signifies identification with the sacrifice, acknowledging that the animal is taking the place of the sinner. This practice is rooted in the ancient Near Eastern customs of substitutionary atonement. It foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore the sins of humanity. The laying on of hands is also seen in other parts of Scripture, such as in the ordination of priests (<a href="/numbers/8-10.htm">Numbers 8:10</a>) and the commissioning of leaders (<a href="/acts/13-3.htm">Acts 13:3</a>).<p><b>and slaughter it as a sin offering</b><br>The slaughtering of the animal represents the seriousness of sin and the necessity of bloodshed for atonement, as stated in <a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22</a>, "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." This act is a vivid reminder of the cost of sin and the need for a substitute to bear the penalty. The sin offering is distinct from other offerings, such as the burnt offering, in its specific purpose of atonement for unintentional sins. This reflects the holiness of God and the need for purity among His people.<p><b>at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered</b><br>The location for the slaughtering of the sin offering is significant, as it is the same place where the burnt offering is made. This indicates the interconnectedness of the offerings and the centrality of the altar in the sacrificial system. The burnt offering, which represents total dedication to God, complements the sin offering's focus on atonement. The shared location underscores the comprehensive nature of the sacrificial system in addressing both sin and devotion. This place, likely the altar of burnt offering in the Tabernacle or Temple, is a sacred space where God meets with His people, as seen in <a href="/exodus/29-42.htm">Exodus 29:42-43</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_offerer.htm">The Offerer</a></b><br>The individual bringing the sin offering, representing the sinner seeking atonement.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>The mediator who performs the sacrificial rites, symbolizing the role of Christ as our High Priest.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sin_offering.htm">The Sin Offering</a></b><br>A sacrificial animal, typically a goat, representing the atonement for unintentional sins.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_altar.htm">The Altar</a></b><br>The place where sacrifices are made, symbolizing the presence of God and the place of atonement.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The dwelling place of God among His people, where the sacrificial system was carried out.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>Sin requires atonement, highlighting its seriousness and the need for reconciliation with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_mediator.htm">The Role of the Mediator</a></b><br>The priest's role foreshadows Christ's mediatory work, reminding us of our need for a Savior.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_act_of_confession.htm">The Act of Confession</a></b><br>Laying hands on the offering symbolizes confession and identification with the sacrifice, encouraging us to confess our sins.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_cost_of_atonement.htm">The Cost of Atonement</a></b><br>The sacrifice of an animal points to the costliness of atonement, ultimately fulfilled in Christ's sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_holiness_of_god.htm">The Holiness of God</a></b><br>The sacrificial system underscores God's holiness and the need for purity in approaching Him.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_4.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 4</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/could_leviticus_sacrifices_avoid_health_issues.htm">How feasible is it, historically, that large numbers of animal sacrifices described in Leviticus 4 could be carried out without creating severe public health issues?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_view_on_unintentional_sin.htm">What does the Bible say about unintentional sin?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_old_and_new_covenants_differ.htm">How do the Old and New Covenants differ?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_purpose_of_a_sin_offering.htm">What is the purpose of a sin offering?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/4-33.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And he shall lay</span><br /><span class="heb">וְסָמַךְ֙</span> <span class="translit">(wə·sā·maḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
