Core Text
ושחט אתו במקום אשר ישחט את העלה לפני ה' חטאת הוא

English: He shall slaughter it in the place where the burnt-offering is slaughtered, before Hashem; it is a chatat.

Type of Learning

Location identity with olah — northern side of the altar; the declaration “chatat hu” fixes its identity.

What Is Learned

The nasi’s goat is slaughtered in the same place as the olah (north of the altar). The Torah stresses “it is a chatat” so that its blood service and disposition follow chatat law, not olah law.
