Leviticus 3:1-17 And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female… "Peace through the blood of His Cross," "Reconciliation in the body of His flesh through death," "Fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ," are the great leading truths in the peace sacrifice. The prodigal's repentance, the return home, the ready embrace, the ring, the rich feast within the house, the mutual rest and rejoicing — all are here; nothing is lacking to assure our hearts before God. If there be any lack, it is our want of ability to appreciate the rich and varied grace displayed in every particular of the peace-offering." Happy is it for us that the possession of its blessings does not depend upon the measure in which we understand the type. "The peace of God which passeth all understanding" is the sure portion of all the justified. It belongs to the babe in Christ as much as to the more advanced in Divine knowledge. (F. H. White.) Parallel Verses KJV: And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. |
