And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, etc.] The Targum of Jonathan adds here, as before, ``his right hand with strength:” and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation; in the court, in any part of it; for, as Gersom says, all places were right for this; the man that brought it killed it, or the butcher, as the Targum of Jonathan says here also as on (<030302>Leviticus 3:2): and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar; upon the four horns of it, (see Gill on “<030302>Leviticus 3:2”).
