According to him who holds that only the omission of what is indispensable in the future renders the ceremony invalid, [omission of] the putting of the hand on the animal's head did not render the ceremony invalid. Whence do we know that in the future [the omission of] the putting of the hands [on the animal's head] is not indispensable? - For it has been taught: And he shall lay his hand. and it shall be accepted for him [to make atonement for him].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev.
