Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord,.... As the bullock of the burnt offering; :-:

and shall lay his hand on the bullock's head; the Targum of Jonathan says his right hand; :-:

and kill the bullock before the Lord; at the door of the tabernacle, that is, in the court, as Gersom observes; according to the above Targum, the butcher killed it, and not the priest:

:- all this is typical of the imputation of sin to Christ, and of his death.
