The Greek word for "leave" (ἀφίημι, aphiemi) implies a deliberate action of setting aside or letting go. This instruction emphasizes the priority of relational harmony over ritualistic practice. The "gift" represents offerings made to God, which, in the Jewish tradition, were acts of devotion and obedience. The act of leaving the gift underscores the importance of addressing interpersonal conflicts before engaging in worship, highlighting that God values the state of our hearts and relationships over mere ritual compliance.
