You can't pay someone to make your offering to God for you. You have to do it yourself. One making a burnt offering at the Tabernacle had to kill and butcher the animal himself. The worshiper's hand on the head of his offering indicates a personal relationship, a delegation of agency to the animal. "God, this is me with all my strengths and weaknesses, my sins, and my good deeds too." There's no substitute for personal involvement in worship, sacrifice, and charity.
