Leviticus 3:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 3:1

The Peace Offering

1 ‘When his offering is a ^asacrifice of a peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it ^bwithout blemish before the Lord.

2 And ^ahe shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall ^bsprinkle the blood all around on the altar.

3 Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the Lord. ^aThe fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails,

4 the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove;

5 and Aaron’s sons ^ashall burn it on the altar upon the ^bburnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire, as an ^coffering made by fire, a ^dsweet aroma to the Lord.

6 ‘If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, whether male or female, ^ahe shall offer it without blemish.

Leviticus 3:1-5

Each one of these names, though, is not wrong, because we see this peace offering in different aspects. And, when it is named something different then the teaching contained within is different. We will read verses 1 through 5. And your Bible probably has there the caption, “The Peace Offering,” so this is the general idea of what it is speaking about. And it basically represents life given as a living sacrifice.

So we see there in verse 5 that it is a sweet aroma indicating that there is no sin involved in giving it, and therefore it is an offering that is satisfying to God.
