Contextual Overview

27 ‘If anyone among the people of the land sins without meaning to, by doing any of the things the Lord said not to do, he becomes guilty. 28 If his sin is made known to him, he will bring for his gift a female goat that is perfect, for the sin he has done. 29 He will lay his hand on the head of the sin gift, and kill the sin gift at the place of burnt gifts. 30 The religious leader will take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt gifts. He will pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 31 Then he will take all its fat, just as the fat was taken from the peace gifts. And the religious leader will burn it on the altar for a pleasing smell to the Lord. So the religious leader will pay for his sin. And he will be forgiven. 32 ‘If he brings a lamb for a sin gift, he will bring a female lamb that is perfect. 33 He will lay his hand on the head of the sin gift, and kill it for a sin gift in the place where they kill the burnt gifts. 34 The religious leader will take some of the blood of the sin gift with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt gifts. He will pour out all the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 35 Then he will take all its fat, just as the lamb's fat is taken from the peace gifts. The religious leader will burn it on the altar, on the gifts by fire to the Lord. So the religious leader will pay for him the price for the sin he has done. And he will be forgiven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering,.... On the head of the lamb, as on the head of the goat, even his right hand, as the above Targum, as before:

and slay it for a sin offering, in the place where they kill the burnt offering: for if it was not slain for a sin offering, but for something else, or on any other account, as for a burnt offering, it was not right q.

q T. Bab. Zebachim, fol. 7. 1. & Menachot, fol. 4. 1.
