Speak to the Israelites
This phrase underscores the direct communication between God and His chosen people, the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "speak" is "דבר" (dabar), which implies not just casual conversation but a formal declaration or command. This highlights the importance of the message being delivered. Historically, the Israelites were a covenant community, and God's instructions were central to their identity and relationship with Him. This phrase sets the stage for a divine directive that is meant to guide the community in their worship practices.

and say
The repetition of communication terms emphasizes the seriousness and clarity with which God wants His instructions conveyed. The Hebrew word "אמר" (amar) is used here, which often denotes a more personal or intimate form of speaking. This suggests that while the message is authoritative, it is also meant to be understood and internalized by the people, reflecting God's desire for a personal relationship with His followers.

Anyone who brings
This phrase is inclusive, indicating that the instructions apply to every individual within the community. The Hebrew word "איש" (ish) for "anyone" can mean man or person, emphasizing that the act of bringing a sacrifice is a personal responsibility and privilege. It reflects the communal and individual aspects of worship, where each person is accountable to God.

a fellowship sacrifice
The term "fellowship sacrifice" is translated from the Hebrew "זבח שלמים" (zevach shelamim), which can also be rendered as "peace offering." This type of sacrifice was unique in that it symbolized peace and communion with God. It was a voluntary act of worship, expressing gratitude, fulfillment of a vow, or spontaneous devotion. Historically, it was a shared meal, symbolizing fellowship not only with God but also with the community, as parts of the sacrifice were eaten by the offerer and their family.

to the LORD
This phrase signifies the ultimate recipient of the sacrifice, which is God Himself. The Hebrew "יהוה" (YHWH) is the sacred name of God, often rendered as "LORD" in English translations. It emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where sacrifices were acts of worship and obedience to the one true God. This highlights the theocentric nature of Israelite worship, where all acts of devotion are directed towards God.

is to bring part of it
This instruction indicates that not the entire sacrifice was to be consumed on the altar. The Hebrew "קרב" (qarab) means to bring near or present, suggesting an offering that is intentionally set apart for God. This reflects the principle of giving God the first and best portion, a practice that acknowledges His sovereignty and provision.

as their sacrifice
The phrase "as their sacrifice" personalizes the act of offering. The Hebrew "קרבן" (korban) refers to something brought near to God, signifying dedication and consecration. This personal aspect of sacrifice underscores the individual's devotion and commitment to God, making the act of offering not just a ritual, but a heartfelt expression of faith.

to the LORD
Reiterating the recipient of the sacrifice, this phrase reinforces the focus of worship. The repetition of "to the LORD" in the verse serves as a reminder that all acts of worship and sacrifice are ultimately for God's glory and honor. It calls the worshiper to a posture of reverence and submission, recognizing God's holiness and authority.

(29) He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings.--That is, if his peace offering is one of the three aforementioned classes. (See Leviticus 7:11.)

Shall bring his oblation.--That is, those portions of the peace offering which the offerer devoted to the Lord and to the officiating priest.
