No communal offerings require leaning, except the bull which comes for any of the commandments and the he-goat designated to be sent [to Azazel]. R’ Shimon says: Even the he-goats for idolatry. All offerings of individuals require leaning, except for the bechor-offering, the maaseroffering, and the pesach-offering. An heir performs leaning, and brings libations, and makes a temurah exchange.

All must perform leaning, except for a deaf-mute, an imbecile, a minor, a blind man, a non-Jew, a slave, an agent, and a woman. Leaning is [considered] a remainder of the precept; [it is done] on the head, with two hands. In the place where the leaning is performed [the animal] is slaughtered, and the leaning immediately precedes the slaughtering.
