The peace offering is a shared meal before the Lord.
It is a sacrifice of peace offering.
The peace offering, also called the fellowship offering, is from the herd or the flock. The fat is burned on the altar. The breast and the right thigh are the priests’ portion. The offerer eats the rest before the Lord. It can be a thanksgiving, a vow, or a freewill gift. Thanksgiving meat is eaten the same day. This is the offering that becomes a table. Jesus is our peace, and the church eats the Supper as a shared remembrance, not as a rebuilt altar meal.
- Blood is still dashed on the altar. Fellowship does not skip the blood.
- Unclean persons do not eat it. The meal is holy.
- The fat is the Lord’s. The people do not keep that portion.
