Identifying with the Sacrifice
Commentators explain that when Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bullock, it was a profound symbolic act. They were identifying with the animal, transferring their sins to it, and acknowledging that it would die in their place as a substitute. This act demonstrated their personal need for atonement before they could serve God.
