Semicha in sacrifices was the placing/leaning [of the hands] before the offering of a korban ("animal sacrifice") in the Temple in Jerusalem. This involved pressing firmly on the head of the sacrificial animal, thereby symbolically "transmitting" sins onto the animal or, in other interpretations , to transform the sacrifice into an offering acceptable to Hashem.
