"The high priest must bring the bull"
lay his hand on its head
This is a symbolic action that identifies the person with the animal he is offering. In this way the person is offering himself to Yahweh through the animal. See how you translated this in Leviticus 1:4. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)

It is implied that the priest catches the blood in a bowl as it drains from the animal. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
