At Peace with God

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus 3 describes the sacrifice of peace offerings. While the burnt offering was entirely burned, the peace offering was shared. God received the fat, the priests received a portion, and the worshiper's family ate the rest in a joyful meal before the Lord.

The animal could come from the herd, the sheep, or the goats, male or female, but always without defect. The worshiper laid his hand on its head and killed it at the door of the Tent of Meeting. The priests sprinkled the blood around on the altar and burned the fat and certain inner parts as an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

The chapter ends with a lasting command: It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood. The life and the best part belonged to God. Romans 5 says that being made right by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him, people far from God are brought near and welcomed to His table.
