Leviticus 4:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 4:17

15 And the elders of the congregation ^ashall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord. Then the bull shall be killed before the Lord.

16 ^aThe anointed priest shall bring some of the bull’s blood to the tabernacle of meeting.

17 Then the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil.

18 And he shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

19 He shall take all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

20 And he shall do ^awith the bull as he did with the bull as a sin offering; thus he shall do with it. ^bSo the priest shall make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
