About this Chapter

The Fellowship Offering, also known as the Peace Offering, is a voluntary offering made by the Israelites to express their gratitude and worship to God. It is a way for them to have fellowship with God and with one another. The offering can be a male or female animal without any defects, and it is to be presented at the entrance to the tent of meeting. The person offering the fellowship offering is to lay their hand on the head of the animal, symbolizing the transfer of their sins and guilt to the animal. The animal is then slaughtered, and the blood is sprinkled on the altar. The fat and certain organs are burned as an offering to the Lord, while the rest of the animal is shared as a communal meal. This offering is a way for the Israelites to show their thankfulness to God and to have a time of celebration and fellowship with Him. It is a reminder of God's faithfulness and provision in their lives. Through this offering, they are reminded of their dependence on God and their need for His forgiveness and grace.
