Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands.--As the whole congregation could not lay their hands on the victim, their representatives had to perform this act. (See Leviticus 4:4.) But as the elders also were far too many to do it, since they were seventy in number, it was ordained during the second Temple that three of their members should lay their hands upon the sacrifice. Besides this sin offering there was only one other congregational offering upon which there was this laying of hands: i.e., the scape-goat (Leviticus 16:21).Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe eldersזִקְנֵ֨י (ziq·nê)Adjective - masculine plural constructStrong's 2205: Oldof the congregationהָעֵדָ֧ה (hā·‘ê·ḏāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5712: A stated assemblageare to layוְ֠סָמְכוּ (wə·sā·mə·ḵū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 5564: To prop, to lean upon, take hold oftheir handsיְדֵיהֶ֛ם (yə·ḏê·hem)Noun - fdc | third person masculine pluralStrong's 3027: A handonעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe bull’sהַפָּ֖ר (hap·pār)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6499: Young bull, steerheadרֹ֥אשׁ (rōš)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7218: The headbeforeלִפְנֵ֣י (lip̄·nê)Preposition-l | Noun - common plural constructStrong's 6440: The facethe LORD,יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israeland itהַפָּ֖ר (hap·pār)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6499: Young bull, steershall be slaughteredוְשָׁחַ֥ט (wə·šā·ḥaṭ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7819: To slaughter, beatbeforeלִפְנֵ֥י (lip̄·nê)Preposition-l | Noun - common plural constructStrong's 6440: The facethe LORD.יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelJump to PreviousAssembly Bull Bullock Bull's Chiefs Community Company Congregation Death Elders Hands Head Killed Lay Ox Slain Slaughter Slaughtered
