Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 14:13
And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering [is] the priest’s, [so is] the trespass offering: it [is] most holy:
13. in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering ] For the Burnt-Offering see ch. Lev 1:11; for the Sin-Offering, Lev 6:25; and for the Guilt-Offering, Lev 7:2.
in the place of the sanctuary ] i.e. in the court, not in the tabernacle.

In the holy place, to wit, in the court of the tabernacle. See Lev 1:11; 7:7.
It is most holy; both of them are equally holy, and therefore to be offered in the same place.

And he shall slay the lamb,…. The priest, or the butcher, as the Targum of Jonathan, the slaughterer, the priest appointed for that service; at which time both the hands of the leper were laid upon it, as says the Misnah p; for though the leper might not go into the court as yet, the sacrifice was brought to the door of the tabernacle for him to put his hands on it: so Maimonides q relates; the trespass offering of the leper is brought to the door, and he puts both his hands into the court, and lays them on it, and they immediately slay it:
in the place where he shall kill the sin offering in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle, on the north side of the altar, as Jarchi observes, see Le 1:11;
for as the sin offering [is] the priest’s, [so is] the trespass offering; and to be eaten by him and his sons in the holy place, and by none but them, see Le 6:26;
it [is] most holy; which is the reason why none else might eat of it, typical of Christ the most Holy, whose flesh is only eaten by true believers in him, made priests unto God by him.

(13) And he shall slay the lamb.Better, And the lamb shall be killed. On ordinary occasions the sacrificer himself slaughtered the victim on the north side of the altar (see Lev. 1:5); but as the convalescent was not as yet allowed to enter the court, other persons appointed for these occasions killed the sacrifice. Hence the ancient Chaldee Version of the so-called Jonathan ben Uzziel rightly renders it, And the slaughterer shall slay the lamb. The phrase is therefore better rendered in the passive, as is often the case in Hebrew. Before the sacrifice was slain the offerer had to lay his hands on the victim. (See Lev. 1:4.) For the reason, however, already stated, the convalescent could not do it before the altar. The lamb was therefore brought to the door of the court where the leper stood, and the convalescent put his hands through the gate of Nicanor, and laid them on the victim. From this place the purification was performed of men who contracted defilement from a running issue, and of women when they brought their offerings after childbirth. (See Lev. 12:6.)
In the place where he shall kill the sin offering.Better, in the place where they kill, &c, as exactly the same phrase is rendered by the Authorised Version in chap 4:33: that is, in the court of the sanctuary, on the north side of the altar (see Lev. 1:11; Lev. 6:25), which was more holy than the entrance where the convalescent stood.
For as the sin offering . . . The flesh of both these sacrifices was the perquisite of the officiating priest, and could only be eaten by him and the male members of his family within the court of the sanctuary, being of the class of sacrifices which were most holy. (See Lev. 6:18.)

Both offerings were to be in the same hallowed spot. JESUS is both the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering of his people.

Lev 14:13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering [is] the priest’s, [so is] the trespass offering: it [is] most holy:
Ver. 13. It is most holy. ] The way of holiness in and by Christ is an absolute way as ever was devised.
