Leviticus 7:11

_AND THIS IS THE LAW OF THE SACRIFICE OF PEACE OFFERINGS, WHICH HE SHALL OFFER UNTO THE LORD._ This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings. Besides the usual accompaniments of other sacrifices, leavened bread was offered with the peace offerings as a thanksgiving, such bread being common at feasts....

Leviticus 7:11._And this is the law of the sacrifice. _I have elsewhere (282) stated my reasons for calling this kind of sacrifice “the sacrifice of prosperities.” That they were offered not only in token of gratitude, but when God’s aid was implored, is plain both from this and other passages; yet in all cases the Jews thus testified that they acknowledged God as the author of all good things, whether they returned thanks for some notable blessing, or sought by His aid to be delivered from dangers, or whether they professed in general their piety, or paid the vows which they had made simply and without condition; for the payment of a conditional vow was an act of thanksgiving. At any rate, since in all they honored God with His due service, they gave proof of their gratitude. Hence this name was justly given to these sacrifices, because in them they

11-27 As to the peace-offerings, in the expression of their sense of mercy, God left them more at liberty, than in the expression of their sense of sin; that their sacrifices, being free-will offerings, might be the more acceptable, while, by obliging them to bring the sacrifices of atonement, God shows the necessity of the great Propitiation. The main reason why blood was forbidden of old, was because the Lord had appointed blood for an atonement. This use, being figurative, had its end in Christ, who by his death and blood-shedding caused the sacrifices to cease. Therefore this law is not now in force on believers....

See Leviticus 3:1. What is here added, relates to the accompanying מנחה _mı̂nchāh_ Leviticus 2:1, the classification of peace-offerings into: (1) thank-offerings, (2) vow-offerings and (3) voluntary-offerings, and the conditions to be observed by the worshipper in eating the flesh....

EXPOSITION CONTINUATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE PRIESTS, RESPECTING THE RITUAL OF THE SACRIFICES. This chapter treats of the ritual of the trespass offering and the peace offerings, as the last chapter treated of that of the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the sin offering. The LXX. version attaches the first ten verses of this chapter to Leviticus 6:1, beginning Leviticus 7:1 with our Leviticus 7:11

AND THIS [IS] THE LAW OF THE SACRIFICE OF PEACE OFFERINGS, WHICH YE SHALL OFFER UNTO THE LORD. Some other laws and rules respecting the oblation of them: in Leviticus 3:1 an account is given of what they should be, both of the herd and flock, and of the burning of the fat of them; and here the several sorts of them are distinctly observed, what should be offered with them, and the part the priest should have of it, and when the flesh of them should be eaten....

PEACE-OFFERINGS In the "law of the offerings," the peace-offering is taken out of its place as third of the sweet savour offerings, and placed alone, and after all the non-sweet savour offerings. The explanation is as simple as the fact is beautiful. In revealing the offerings Jehovah works from Himself out to the sinner. (_ See Scofield) - (Exodus 25:10). _ The whole burnt-offering comes first as meeting what is due to the divine affections, and the trespass-offering last as meeting the simplest aspect of sin - its injuriousness. But the sinner begins of necessity with that which lies nearest to a newly awakened conscience-a sense, namely, that because of sin he is at enmity with God. His first need, therefore, is peace with God. And that is precisely the Gospel order. Christ's first message is, "Peace" ...

LEVITICUS 6:8 TO LEVITICUS 7:38. SPECIAL MANUAL FOR PRIESTS, given to Aaron and his sons (Leviticus 6:9; Leviticus 6:14; Leviticus 6:25, etc.; contrast Leviticus 4:2, etc.). The peace offering is here placed last. It may be noted that two sections (Leviticus 7:7 and Leviticus 7:22) seem to b

THE LAW: i.e. specific and fuller directions given to the _priests,_ additional to those given to the _People_ in Leviticus 3:1. So in the law of the sin offering (Leviticus 6:24, compare with Leviticus 4:24); the law of the trespass offering (Leviticus 7:1, compare with Leviticus 5:1). It will be noted from the Structure (on p. 134) that the peace offering comes before the sin offerings; but here, in "the LAW" of the offerings, the peace offerings comes last. This is because it has to do with the communion of the offerer; and t
