Lev 7:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12-16 : Peace-offerings were brought for different reasons. People could offer them to thank God for some special blessing, to keep a vow made during trouble, or as a voluntary act while seeking God’s favor. If the offering was for thanksgiving, it had to come with various types of bread, including unleavened cakes and also leavened bread ( v. 12 ). The bread was not burned on the altar but eaten with the meat, making it a true feast. God allowed freedom in these sacrifices so people could show their thankfulness and generosity from the heart. But if someone made a vow, it was very important to keep it and bring the sacrifice as promised ( v. 16 ).
