Teaching Points Understanding the Peace OfferingThe peace offering was a voluntary act of worship, symbolizing fellowship and thanksgiving. It reminds us of the importance of gratitude and communion with God in our spiritual lives. Significance of the Fat The fat was considered the best part of the animal and was offered to God, symbolizing giving our best to Him. This teaches us to prioritize God in our lives and offer Him our best in all we do. Symbolism of Sacrifice The sacrificial system points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Understanding these offerings helps us appreciate the depth of Christ's sacrifice and the peace it brings between God and humanity. Holistic Worship Worship involves more than rituals; it requires a heart aligned with God's will. Our daily lives should reflect a continuous offering of praise and obedience to God. Community and Fellowship The peace offering included a communal meal, emphasizing the importance of fellowship among believers. This encourages us to foster community and unity within the body of Christ.(9) The whole rump.--Better, the whole fat tail (so also Exodus 29:22; Leviticus 7:3; Leviticus 8:25; Leviticus 9:19). The sheep of Syria and Palestine were, and still are, the bread-tailed species, the broad part often weighing fifteen pounds and upwards. In young animals, the substance of the tail, which consists of marrow and fat, tastes like marrow, and it is used by the Arabs for cooking instead of butter. It is often so large that it trails on the ground, and to save the animal from the pain occasioned by dragging it on the ground, a small wheeled truck is attached to it, on which it draws it along. It is only the tail of sheep which is here included among the fat parts that are to be offered upon the altar. It is, however, not regarded as the ordinary fat of other quadrupeds (Leviticus 9:19), and hence, according to Jewish tradition, is not included in the prohibition of Leviticus 3:3. . . . Verse 9. - The whole rump should no doubt be the whole tail, consisting chiefly of fat, and always regarded as a great delicacy in the East (see Herod., 3:113; Thompson, 'Land and the Book,' page 97). The burning of the fat tail upon the altar, together with the internal fat, is the only point in which the ritual to be used when offering a sheep (verses 6-11) differs from that used in offering a bull or cow (verses 1-5), or a goat (verses 12-16).
