Numbers 6:14

peace-offerings Heb. shelâmîm. The meaning is uncertain. Some connect it with shâlôm-peace," and explain it as -the sacrifice offered when friendly relations existed towards God, as distinct from piacular offerings which presupposed estrangement." So LXX. θυσία εἰρηνική. Others derive it from a verb shillçmdenoting to -make restitution," and so -to pay what is due"; hence a thank- or votive-offering. It was generally offered on joyful occasions, God and the worshipper partaking together of the sacrifice. God's portion comprised the fat and viscera of the victim, which were offered to Him by being burnt.
