Lev 3:1 | MHM | STEP | Leviticus 3:1: Law of the Peace-Offering This passage introduces the rules for the peace-offering. Unlike burnt-offerings, which are completely burned to honor God’s perfection, peace-offerings are shared between God, the priests, and the worshipper. The peace-offering shows friendship and fellowship between God and His people. It can be given as a prayer for blessings or as a thank-you for good things received. Through the peace-offering, people celebrate their relationship with God and thank Him for His kindness. The offering also points to Jesus Christ, who is our true peace and brings us close to God. v. 1 : If the peace-offering is from the herd, the animal must be without blemish. It can be male or female, unlike the burnt-offering, because God looks at the heart, not gender ( v. 1; Galatians 3:28 ).
