It was distinct from sin and guilt offerings, focusing on thanksgiving, vows, or freewill offerings. The Hebrew term "shalom" implies wholeness and completeness, reflecting the offering's purpose to restore and maintain a harmonious relationship with God. This offering was part of the Levitical sacrificial system established at Mount Sinai, emphasizing the importance of approaching God with reverence and gratitude. The peace offering foreshadows the ultimate peace brought by Jesus Christ, who reconciles humanity to God (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a>).<p><b>you shall offer it for your acceptance</b><br>The phrase underscores the necessity of offering sacrifices in a manner pleasing to God. Acceptance by God required adherence to His instructions, reflecting a heart aligned with His will. The offering had to be without blemish, symbolizing purity and sincerity (<a href="/leviticus/22-21.htm">Leviticus 22:21</a>). This concept of acceptance is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are urged to present themselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>). The peace offering's acceptance prefigures Christ's sacrifice, which was fully accepted by God, providing eternal peace and reconciliation for believers (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10-14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The original audience of the book of Leviticus, who were given these laws as part of their covenant relationship with God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The God of Israel, who established the sacrificial system as a means for His people to maintain fellowship with Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/peace_offering.htm">Peace Offering (Hebrew: Shelamim)</a></b><br>A type of sacrifice in the Levitical system that symbolized fellowship and communion with God, often shared in a communal meal.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The place where sacrifices were offered, serving as the dwelling place of God among His people.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The mediator of the covenant and the one through whom God delivered the laws to the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_sacrifices.htm">Understanding Sacrifices</a></b><br>The peace offering was a voluntary act of worship, symbolizing peace and fellowship with God.

Hence the transition here from the prohibition of idolatrous worship to the peace-offerings. The simple abstention from sacrifice to idols and offering them to God is not enough. If the Israelites bring a peace-offering to the Lord it must be offered in the prescribed manner.<p><span class= "bld">Ye shall offer it at your own will.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">ye shall offer it for your acceptance </span>(see <a href="/leviticus/1-3.htm" title="If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.">Leviticus 1:3</a>), that is, ye are to do it in such a manner as will secure for you the Divine acceptance.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 5-8.</span> - The unsystematic character of this chapter is indicated by prohibitions under the fifth, fourth, first, and second commandments (verses 3, 4) being succeeded by a ceremonial instruction respecting the peace offerings, repeated from <a href="/leviticus/7-16.htm">Leviticus 7:16-18</a>. The words, <span class="cmt_word">ye shall offer it at your own will,</span> should rather be, <span class="accented">for your acceptance</span>, as in chapter Leviticus 1:3. In the seventh chapter a distinction is drawn between the peace offerings that are thank offerings, which must be eaten on the first day, and the peace offerings which are vow or voluntary offerings, which may be eaten on the first or second day. In the present <span class="accented">resume</span> this distinction is not noticed. Whoever transgresses this ceremonial command is to <span class="cmt_word">bear his iniquity and to be cut off from among his people,</span> that is, to be excommunicated without any appointed form of reconciliation by means of sacrifice. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/19-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">When</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכִ֧י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">A relative conjunction</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you sacrifice</span><br /><span class="heb">תִזְבְּח֛וּ</span> <span class="translit">(ṯiz·bə·ḥū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2076.htm">Strong's 2076: </a> </span><span class="str2">To slaughter for sacrifice</span><br /><br /><span class="word">a peace offering</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁלָמִ֖ים</span> <span class="translit">(šə·lā·mîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8002.htm">Strong's 8002: </a> </span><span class="str2">A sacrifice for alliance or friendship, peace offering</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to the LORD,</span><br /><span class="heb">לַיהוָ֑ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you shall offer it</span><br /><span class="heb">תִּזְבָּחֻֽהוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(tiz·bā·ḥu·hū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2076.htm">Strong's 2076: </a> </span><span class="str2">To slaughter for sacrifice</span><br /><br /><span class="word">for your acceptance.</span><br /><span class="heb">לִֽרְצֹנְכֶ֖ם</span> <span class="translit">(lir·ṣō·nə·ḵem)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7522.htm">Strong's 7522: </a> </span><span class="str2">Goodwill, favor, acceptance, will</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/leviticus/19-5.htm">Leviticus 19:5 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/leviticus/19-5.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 19:5 When you offer a sacrifice of peace (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/19-4.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 19:4"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 19:4" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/19-6.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 19:6"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 19:6" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
