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."
