SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:23
E hicieron llegar los machos cabríos de la expiación delante del rey y de la multitud, y pusieron sobre ellos sus manos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 29:23
Verse 23. They laid their hands upon them] That is, they confessed their sin; and as they had by their transgression forfeited their lives, they now offer these animals to die as vicarious offerings, their life being taken for the life of their owners.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation , etc.] Which were to make atonement for the sins of both: and they laid their hands on them ; signifying thereby that they were vicarious sacrifices to be offered up in their own room and stead, and that they deserved to die, as these creatures would: transferring as it were hereby their sins unto them, for which they were to be sacrificed, and to make atonement, as an emblem of the imputation of the sins of the Lord’s people to Christ, sacrificed in their stead.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-36 - As soon as Hezekiah heard that the temple was ready, he lost no time Atonement must be made for the sins of the last reign. It was no enough to lament and forsake those sins; they brought a sin-offering Our repentance and reformation will not obtain pardon but in an through Christ, who was made sin, that is, a sin-offering for us. Whil the offerings were on the altar, the Levites sang. Sorrow for sin mus not prevent us from praising God. The king and the congregation gav their consent to all that was done. It is not enough for us to be wher God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship with the heart. An we should offer up our spiritual sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving and devote ourselves and all we have, as sacrifices, acceptable to the Father only through the Redeemer __________________________________________________________________
