Thou shalt take also one ram upon the head whereof Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

And thou shalt take one of the rams, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram;

'And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons have laid their hands on the head of the ram,

Then take one of the sheep, and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

Arietem quoque alterum accipies, et imponent Aharon et filii ejus manus suas super caput arietis.

Thou shalt also take one ram,.... One of the two he was bid to take, Exodus 29:1,
and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram; confessing their sins, acknowledging their guilt, and by this act transferring the same to the ram, which was to be a burnt offering, and was typical of the imputation of sin to Christ, as before observed.

There must be a burnt - offering, a ram wholly burnt, in token of the dedication of themselves wholly to God, as living sacrifices, kindled with the fire, and ascending in the flame of holy love. This sin - offering must be offered, and then the burnt - offering, for till guilt be removed no acceptable service can be performed.
