No Laying of Hands and No North Side on a Private Altar

"Before the LORD" (Leviticus 1:4): "and he shall lay his hand" — there is no laying on of hands at a private altar. "Northward before the LORD" (Leviticus 1:11) — there is no north side at a private altar. Now which measure is the broader, the rule of the north or the rule of laying on of hands? The rule of laying on of hands is the lesser of the two, for the north side applies to both the offerings of an individual and the offerings of the community, while laying on of hands applies only to the offerings of an individual. If I have excluded the broader rule of the north, shall I not exclude the lesser rule of laying on of hands? You say: in this respect the north is broader and laying on of hands is narrower; or in that respect laying on of hands is broader and the north is narrower? Laying on of hands applies to offerings of the highest sanctity and to offerings of lesser sanctity, while the north applies only to offerings of the highest sanctity. If I have excluded the narrower rule of the north, shall I not exclude the broader rule of laying on of hands? Since there is in laying on of hands what is not in the north, and in the north what is not in laying on of hands, Scripture must say "before the LORD, and he shall lay his hand" — there is no laying on of hands at a private altar; "northward before the LORD" — there is no north side at a private altar. "Before the LORD, and he shall lay his hand" — even though he laid his hand outside, let him return and lay his hand inside.
