Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 3:1-17

[See the Chapter Comments for Leviticus Chapter 1 for introductory information]3. The peace offering ch. 3The peace (fellowship) offering is the third sacrifice of worship. It represented the fellowship between God and man that resulted from the relationship that God had established with the redeemed individual. Peace and fellowship resulted from redemption, and this act of worship highlighted those blessings from God. This was an optional sacrifice; an Israelite could bring it if and when he... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:1-17

The Peace OfferingThis form of sacrifice takes its name from a Heb. word meaning a ’requital’ or giving of thanks, and is therefore called by some the Thank Offering. It is an animal sacrifice, the characteristic feature of which is the disposal of the carcase. The kidneys and the internal fat, and, in the case of sheep, the fat tail also, are offered to God by burning upon the altar (Leviticus 3:3-5). The choice parts, the breast and the right thigh, fall to the lot of the priests after being... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 3:3

(3) And he shall offer.—That is, he who brings the sacrifices, not the priest.The fat.—That is, the best or choicest part. Hence the expression is also used for the best produce of the ground (Genesis 45:18; Numbers 18:12). As the most valuable part of the animal, the fat belonged to God, and hence had a peculiar sanctity, for which reason it was not allowed to be eaten (Leviticus 3:17; Leviticus 7:23). read more

THE PEACE OFFERINGLeviticus 3:1-17; Leviticus 7:11-34; Leviticus 19:5-8; Leviticus 22:21-25IN chapter 3 is given, though not with completeness, the law of the peace offering. The alternative rendering of this term, "thank offering" (marg. R.V), precisely expresses only one variety of the peace offering; and while it is probably impossible to find any one word that shall express in a satisfactory way the whole conception of this offering, it is not easy to find one better than the familiar term... read more

3. The Peace Offering CHAPTER 3 1. The ox (Leviticus 3:1-5 ) 2. The sheep or goat (Leviticus 3:6-17 ) This is the third “sweet savour offering,” and is closely linked with the burnt offering, but it differs from it, especially, in that part of it was to be eaten. The peace offering also had the character of a thank offering (Leviticus 7:11-13 ). As it was offered on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, it cannot therefore be separated from Christ offering Himself as the burnt offering.... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Leviticus 3:3

3:3 And he shall {b} offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that [is] upon the inwards,(b) One part was burnt, another was to the priests, and the third to him that offered. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:1-17

THE PEACE OFFERING TAKEN FROM THE HERD (vv. 1-5) The peace offering was also a voluntary sacrifice. However, it could either be a male or female, but only an unblemished animal. Of course it speaks also of the one sacrifice of Christ, but since a female was allowed, this involves the part that believers have with Christ in the value of His sacrifice. The burnt offering speaks altogether of the value of that sacrifice to God , but the peace offering involves also the blessing that comes to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 3:1-17

THE MEAL AND PEACE OFFERINGS THE MEAL OFFERING (Leviticus 2:0 ) We call the second offering the “meal” instead of the meat offering, following the Revised Version. The burnt and meal offerings really belong together. They are both offerings of consecration, and when the one was presented the other followed as a kind of appendage (see Leviticus 23:12-13 ; Leviticus 23:18 ; Numbers 28:7-15 ; Judges 13:19 ; Ezra 7:17 ; etc.). We have seen that the burnt offering was entirely consumed upon... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 3:1-17

Minor Offerings Leviticus 3:0 In addition to the great offerings of the Jewish ritual, there were certain minor offerings for which special provision was made. If we take this chapter and view it in the light of the Christian dispensation we shall see more clearly what has been gained by the Christian covenant. These offerings, in themselves considered, the Gentile mind will never be able fully to appreciate. The oblations were not intended for Gentiles, and therefore can only be understood in... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 3:3-5

Perhaps the significance of those things, in the inward fat, meaning the prime parts of the animal, was meant to show that all offerings to the LORD must be from the heart, including the best of our affections. Proverbs 23:26 . read more
