7. And thou shalt cause a bullock to be
brought before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and Aaron and his sons
shall put their hands upon the head of
the bullock. And thou shalt kill the
bullock before the LORD, [by] the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Exodus 29:10-11

8. And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out
of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you
bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your
offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock. If
his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a
male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary
will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before
the LORD. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the
burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make
atonement for him. Leviticus 1:1-4

9. The doctrine of laying on of hands was practiced in the Old Testament.
The Aaronic priests were purified for service to God through the
transferal of their sins to a bull. Similarly, when an Israelite presented
a peace or a sin offering, he laid his hands upon the animal being
offered, identifying himself with it and transferring his guilt to the
animal. Thus, the animal was set apart by God through the laying on of
hands.
The identification process required faith.

the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon
the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other
lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the
goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer
him [for] a sin offering. But the goat, on which the
lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive
before the LORD, to make an atonement with him,
[and] to let him go for a scapegoat into the
wilderness. Leviticus 16:7-10

congregation, Which may go out before them, and which may go in
before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them
in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no
shepherd. And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of
Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; And
set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and
give him a charge in their sight. And thou shalt put [some] of thine
honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may
be obedient. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask
[counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his
word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he,
and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. And
Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set
him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: And he
laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD
commanded by the hand of Moses. Numbers 27:16-23

17. Moses laid his hands upon Joshua,

Egypt by great judgments. Exodus 7:4

When trying a blasphemer, each witness placed his hands upon the guilty
person to signify his acceptance of the verdict. Conversely, when a victim
was spared death—as when God commanded Abraham not to sacrifice
Isaac or when He allowed the leaders of Israel to see Him without dying—
mercy is described as hands not being laid on the spared victim.

behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the
hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I
may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Matthew 9:18-21

30. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders
of the church; and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the name of the
Lord:And the prayer of faith shall save the
sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he
have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one
for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:14-16

31. Jesus commissioned the church to lay
hands on the sick and to pray for their
healing. The physical act of laying on of
hands as a point of contact for releasing

Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom
they set before the apostles: and when they had
prayed, they laid [their] hands on them. Acts 6:3-6
