And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, etc.] His right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan; (see Gill on “<030104>Leviticus 1:4”) and kill it; not the prince, but the priest after mentioned, or the butcher, as the same Targum: in the place where they hill the burnt offering before the Lord; in the court on the north side of the altar, (see <030111>Leviticus 1:11 6:25): it is a sin offering: an offering for his sin of ignorance, or “sin”; so Christ our offering is said to be, (<470521>2 Corinthians 5:21).
