Leviticus 7:11-36

LEVITICUS—NOTE ON Leviticus 7:11 The peace offering (see also Leviticus 3:1) is subdivided into three types: thanksgiving in response to God’s favor (Leviticus 7:12, Leviticus 7:13, Leviticus 7:15), a vow (an offering in fulfillment of a vow; v. Leviticus 7:16), and a freewill offering (when there is no specific obligation to make an offering; v. Leviticus 7:16). Cut off from his people (vv. Leviticus 7:20, Leviticus 7:21, Leviticus 7:25, Leviticus 7:27) could mean that the person is isolated from the community, or it could mean that he actually dies (compare Exodus 31:14; Numbers 4:18). On the prohibition against eating fat and blood (Leviticus 7:22), see note on 3:16–17.
