LAWS FOR PEACE OFFERINGS
‘If a man’s offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings, if he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering [transferring symbolically his guilt to the sacrifice] and kill it at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar.
From the sacrifice of the peace offerings, an offering by fire to the LORD, he shall present the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,
and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver which he shall remove with the kidneys.
Aaron’s sons shall offer it up in smoke on the altar [placing it] on the burnt offering which is on the wood that is on the fire. It is an offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD.
If his peace offering to the LORD is an animal from the flock, male or female, he shall offer the animal without blemish.
If he offers a lamb as his offering, then he shall present it before the LORD,
and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and kill it before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
From the sacrifice of peace offerings he shall bring as an offering by fire to the LORD, its fat, the entire fat tail which he shall remove close to the backbone, and the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,
and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys.
The priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire to the LORD.
‘If his offering is a goat, he shall present it before the LORD,
and he shall lay his hand on its head [transferring symbolically his guilt to the sacrifice], and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
Then he shall present from it as his offering, an offering by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,
and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver which he shall remove with the kidneys.
The priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar as food. It is an offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma; all the fat is the LORD’S.
It is a permanent statute for your generations wherever you may be, that you shall not eat any fat or any blood.'”

PEACE-OFFERINGS FROM THE HERD AND THE FLOCKS
The Lord Jesus has been set forth in Lev_1:1-17 as the burned-offering in relation to God; and in Lev_2:1-16, as the meal-offering in relation to man. We are now to regard Him as the peace-offering, to rectify the disturbed relations between God and man. It supplied food for God in the fat devoured by the sacred fire upon the altar, it fed the priests in those parts specially reserved for them, Lev_7:33-34; but the worshiper also might participate, Lev_7:15. Thus it was a feast that brought into close relations God, priest and people, and it furnished a beautiful typical picture of the truth taught in 1Jn_1:3, “Our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”
Before sitting at the sacrificial feast the offerer laid his hand on the victim’s head, as though to transfer his sins; and we are reminded that we cannot feast on Christ as our Passover unless we have been first pardoned and justified through His death.
