Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Leviticus 3

Lev 3:1-17—The sweet savour offerings: (3) the peace-offering: Christ our peace (Eph 2:14-18). See Law of this offering, Scofield Lev 7:11-21.

Lev 3:1 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.

sacrifice

Sacrifice (typical). vs. 1-17; Lev 4:3-35. (Gen 4:4; Heb 10:18.)

peace offering

The peace-offering. The whole work of Christ in relation to the believer's peace is here in type.

In Christ God and the sinner meet in peace; God is propitiated, the sinner reconciled—both alike satisfied with what Christ has done. But all this at the cost of blood and fire. The details speak of fellowship. This brings in prominently the thought of fellowship with God through Christ. Hence the peace-offering is set forth as affording food for the priests (Leviticus 7:31-34). Observe that it is the breast (affections) and shoulders (strength) upon which we as priests (1 Peter 2:9) feed in fellowship with the Father. This it is which makes the peace-offering especially a thank-offering (Leviticus 7:11, 12).

Lev 3:2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
