Verse 5 indicates that both the worshipper and the priest had different duties in preparing the animal. The worshipper was to kill the animal in the presence of the Lord. The verb “to kill” (šḥṭ) occurs seventy-nine times in the Old Testament. It is often used in the context of the ritual slaughter on an animal (for more information see Leviticus 1:6).
5 Il égorgera le veau devant l'Eternel; et les sacrificateurs, fils d'Aaron, offriront le sang, et le répandront tout autour sur l'autel qui est à l'entrée de la tente d'assignation.
