What Is Atonement? – Leviticus E2

NOTE

Symbolism of animal sacrifice and laying on of hands

The ritual of animal sacrifice in the day of atonement involves confessing sins over one animal which is then sent out of the camp to represent removing sin, while another is sacrificed to purify and atone. Laying on of hands is seen as appointing a representative, symbolizing that the appointed person is now representing the one laying hands. This is demonstrated when Moses appoints Joshua as a new Moses, and when the Israelites appoint the Levites. The act of laying on of hands is related to the New Testament's usage and signifies the act of appointing a representative.
