G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 3:1-17

In the peace offering new elements are manifest Here one part was to be burned with fire and thus offered directly to God, while another part was returned from the altar to the worshiper for his own sustenance. In this offering, then, the great fact of acceptance and communion established on the basis of sacrifice and dedication is portrayed.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:6-11

A Peace Offering of Sheep (Leviticus 3:6-11 ). Leviticus 3:6 ‘And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yahweh be of the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. The same instructions are given concerning the offering of the sheep, and then of the goat. This distinction between sheep and goat (contrast chapter 1) may be because in the case of the sheep its fat tail had to be dealt with separately. Or it may be in order to preserve threeness (just as there were... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 3:6-11

Leviticus 3:6-1 Kings : . Sheep.—“ Flock” ( Leviticus 3:6) includes either sheep or goats, but note that by implication only lambs, and not full-grown sheep, are to be offered. The ritual is the same as for cattle, save that the fat tail (another special delicacy, properly the fat lying close to the tail in certain breeds of sheep) is carefully mentioned.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 3:1-17

Leviticus 3:1. Oblation, is variously rendered; sometimes an offering of any kind, sometimes, as here, a sacrifice of peace-offering. The LXX render it an offering of salutation; when a man had recovered from some affliction, or escaped some danger, this was his eucharist to the Lord. Leviticus 3:5. The burnt-sacrifice, or holocaust, signifies not only a single beast, but often a collection of animals, slain and burnt for sin. Leviticus 3:17. That ye eat neither fat nor blood. They... read more
