The peace offering of thanksgiving.

At the conclusion of the instructions concerning the trespass offering, we have a few directions concerning the meat offering (Leviticus 7:9, Leviticus 7:10). Whatever of it was dressed was to be given to the priest that offered it, to be consumed by himself and his family. But that "mingled with oil, and dry" was to be divided amongst the sons of Aaron. The reason appears to be economical. What was prepared would not keep, and was therefore to be consumed at once; that which would keep was to be divided, to be used according to convenience. The God of grace is also the God of providence. And his providence is especially concerned for those who seek his grace. After these notes, the law of the sacrifice of the peace offering is formally considered.

II. THE THANKSGIVING IN THE HEAVE OFFERING. (Leviticus 7:14, Leviticus 7:15.)

2. It was lifted up in faith and gratitude to God.
