Contextual Overview
1 "If you present an animal from the herd as a peace offering to the Lord , it may be a male or a female, but it must have no defects. 2 Lay your hand on the animal's head, and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Then Aaron's sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar. 3 The priest must present part of this peace offering as a special gift to the Lord . This includes all the fat around the internal organs, 4 the two kidneys and the fat around them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver. These must be removed with the kidneys, 5 and Aaron's sons will burn them on top of the burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering,.... "His right hand with strength", the Targum of Jonathan says; perhaps both his hands were imposed; the Septuagint and Arabic versions read it in the plural number, "hands"; this same rite was used in the sacrifice of burnt offering, :-; which might be done in any place in the court where it was slain, only with this difference: according to Maimonides d, there was no confession of sin made at laying on of hands upon the peace offerings, but words of praise were spoken:
and kill it at the door of the congregation; it seems as if it was not the priest, but the owner that brought it, and laid his hands on it, that killed it; and so the last mentioned writer says, that slaying the peace offering by a stranger was right; and as he and others e say, it might be slain in any part of the court; it was not obliged to be slain in the north part of it, as the burnt offering was, Leviticus 1:11
and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about; in like manner as the blood of the burnt offering was, and it was done with two sprinklings, which were as four f; Leviticus 1:11- : this was typical of the blood of Christ, called "the blood of sprinkling".
d Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 3. sect. 15. e Misn. Zebachim, c. 5. sect. 7. f Misn. ib.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Kill it at the door ... - See Leviticus 1:3. Tradition says that the peace-offerings might be killed in any part of the court.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 3:2. Lay his hand upon the head of his offering — See this rite explained, Exodus 29:10; Exodus 29:10, and "Leviticus 1:4". "As the burnt-offering, (chap. i.,)" says Mr. Ainsworth, "figured our reconciliation to God by the death of Christ, and the meat-offering, (chap. ii.,) our sanctification in him before God, so this peace-offering signified both Christ's oblation of himself whereby he became our peace and salvation, (Ephesians 2:14-16; Acts 13:47; Hebrews 5:9; Hebrews 9:28,) and our oblation of praise, thanksgiving, and prayer unto God."
