John Gill Commentary


John Gill Commentary
"And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before Jehovah: it is a sin-offering." — Leviticus 4:24 (ASV)
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat
His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; (See Gill on Leviticus 1:4)
and kill it ;
not the prince, but the priest after mentioned, or the butcher, as the same Targum:
in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the Lord ;
in the court on the north side of the altar, see (Leviticus 1:11) (6:25) :
it is a sin offering :
an offering for his sin of ignorance, or "sin"; so Christ our offering is said to be, (2 Corinthians 5:21) .
