10058. 'And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the ram's head' means the transmission of power with the whole. This is clear from the meaning of 'laying hands on' as the transmission, transference, and reception of power, dealt with in 10023; and from the meaning of 'the head' as the whole with all its parts, dealt with in 10011, thus every single thing which this second ram represents.
