What Does Exodus 29:10 Mean?
A bullock is led to the tabernacle entrance, and Aaron and his sons place their hands upon its head. This act of laying on of hands represents the transfer of the sin that requires atonement.
The gesture connects the priests to the sacrifice—they identify with it, acknowledging their need for cleansing and their role as mediators of atonement.
