Leviticus / Question
Question source
Leviticus
In the burnt offering, the worshiper lays a hand on the head of the animal at the entrance of the tent of meeting. The text connects this act with the offering being accepted and with atonement being made for the person. This step is stated as part of the required procedure (Leviticus 1:4).
4He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
