Leviticus3:2

2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation : and Aarons sons the Priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

Not on the North-side of the Altar▪ where the burnt-offering was killed, Levit. 1. 11. a[illegible: 1+ letters] also the [illegible: 1 word]-offering and the trespass-offering▪ Levit. 6. 25. and 7. 2. but in the very entrance of the court, where the brazen altar stood, which place was not so holy as the other, as appears both because it was more remote from the Holy of holies, and because the ashes of the sacrifices were to be laid here. And the reason of this difference is not obscure, both because part of this sacrifice was to be waved by the hands of the offerer, Levit. 7. 30. who might not come into the Court; and because this offering was not so holy as the other, which were to be eaten onely by the Priest, when part of these were eaten by the offeret.
