Peace offerings, also known as fellowship offerings, were a type of sacrifice that symbolized reconciliation and communion with God. These offerings were distinct from sin offerings, as they were not primarily for atonement but for thanksgiving and fellowship. The location "there" refers to Mount Ebal, where the Israelites were to set up stones with the law written on them, signifying the establishment of God's law in the Promised Land. This act of sacrifice underscores the importance of obedience and worship in the life of the covenant community.<p><b>eating them and rejoicing</b><br>The act of eating the peace offerings was a communal event, symbolizing fellowship not only with God but also among the people. It was a time of celebration and gratitude, reflecting the joy of being in right relationship with God. This communal meal prefigures the Lord's Supper in the New Testament, where believers partake in communion, celebrating the peace and reconciliation brought through Jesus Christ. The emphasis on rejoicing highlights the joy that comes from obedience and the blessings of God's covenant.<p><b>in the presence of the LORD your God</b><br>The phrase "in the presence of the LORD your God" signifies the sacredness of the act. The Israelites were to recognize that their worship and sacrifices were not merely ritualistic but were performed before the living God who dwelt among them. This presence was a reminder of God's holiness and the need for the people to approach Him with reverence and sincerity. It also points to the future reality of God's presence with His people through the Holy Spirit, as promised in the New Covenant. The presence of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, from the Garden of Eden to the tabernacle, the temple, and ultimately in the person of Jesus Christ, Immanuel, "God with us."<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who is delivering God's commandments to the people.
