Trespass Offering

[Lev. 7:1] Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
1-27 The law of trespass offering, part was to be consumed on the altar, while the other part was a perquisite of the priest - some fell excessively to the affiliation minister, and was the fee for his services; others were the common share of all the priestly order, who live upon them as their provision, and whose meeting at a common table to promote brotherly harmony and friendship.]
Only two sprinklings of blood were made, one on the northeastern and one on the southwestern. corners of the outer altar. For the guilt offering the animal had to be a ram or male sheep.
11-14 this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings - besides the usual accompaniments of other sacrifices, leaven was offered with the peace offerings, as a thanksgiving, such bread being common at feast.
There are four kinds of peace offerings: Three done by the individual and one done by the community of faith. The peace offering done by the community was considered a most holy offering, while the peach offering for the individual was of a lesser degree of holiness.
The three individual peace offerings were:
1. The thanksgiving offering brought when a person had survived a serious danger or illness.
2. The ram of the Nazareth completes the period of self-denial he had accepted upon himself (he would eat it on the time completes the period of self - denial he had accepted upon himself (he would eat it on the time limit of the same day and the following night until midnight).
3. The shelamim peace offering is brought to fulfill a general vow or pledge. This last one was to be eaten the same day of the slaughtering, the following night plus the following day.
The individual peace offerings could be slaughtered anywhere in the courtyard of the Temple and the owner could eat the peace offering anywhere in Jerusalem. Although the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering were all called Holy or Holies, the peace offering did not carry this high status. Because the L-rd prefers that the people did not sin, rather than sin and have to bring sacrifices, the most desirable sacrifice before the L-rd is the peace offering, which is brought on a voluntary basis out of joy.)
The ritual of the peace offerings emphasized man’s fellowship with G-d and your joy in the presence of your Maker. After bringing your peace offering to the L-rd, you could eat some of the flesh and share it with your family and friends. Thus it was distinguished from the other animal sacrifices. The burnt offering was wholly burned up to the Father. The sin offering was partly offered to the Father and partly eaten by the priest. Only the peace offering was shared by all: the L-rd, the priests, and the people each had their set portion.
The time of the peace offering was a time of joy, the joy of real obedience to the Father. Before honor is humility; before the joy of holiness there must be sacrifice for sin. The peace offering was offered after the burnt offering and the sin offering. After sanctification and sorrow for sin comes the time for fellowship with the Father, how important it is to move on from repentance to holy joy!
Is your worship full of holy joy? Does your family and friends share joyfully in your peace offerings to the Father?
15-17 in the east, butcher meat is generally eaten the day it is killed, and it is rarely kept a second day, so that as a prohibition was issued against any of the flesh in the peace offerings being used on the third day. Because the meat would spoil in a short period of time, it would be a dishonor to the offering if the people became disgusted with the ruined meat, if for any reason the meat spoiled it was to be burned immediately. For this reason the people were required to obey the time schedule of eating the sacrifices. The sacrifice will not be acceptable to G-d nor profitable to him that offered it, it was disqualified as a proper sacrifice. It is similar to the word abomination. This shows that even in the Old Testament that they lived by the Spirit of the Law as well as the letter.
It was forbidden to eat the flesh of a sacred offering that has been touched by an unclean person or contaminated in some fashion. Cut off that is, excelled from the privileges of an Israelite under a sentence of excommunication.
The law concerning the eating of fat on all animals was the same as the law concerning eating its meat. If an animal was clean and could be eaten, so could its fat. If it was unclean, the fat could not be eaten. If this fat was eaten unintentionally it was required that the individual bring a sin offering.
According to the Torah the blood of fish, locust, and crawling things is not included in this prohibition. If this was done unintentional the individual was required to bring a sin offering. Two ancient methods of extracting the blood from an animal’s body was by salt and by fire. It other words, before being cooked they would be roasted over a fire. There is no prohibition against human blood that is still in ones body being swallowed such as in the case of bleeding gums.
28-34 its distribution and the priests portion, in order to show that the sacrifice was voluntary, the offerer was required to bring it with his own hands to the priest. The beast having been waved to and fro in a solemn manner as devoted to G-d, was given to the priests; it was assigned to the use of their order generally, but the right shoulder was the perquisite of the officiating priest.
35-38 this is the portion of the anointing of Aaron - these verses contain a general summing up of the laws that regulated the privileges and duties of the priest. The word anointing is often used as synonymous with office or dignity. So that the portion of the anointing of Aaron probably means the provision made for the maintenance of the high priest and the numerous body of functionaries which composed the sacerdotal order. In the day when he presented them to minister unto the L-rd - that is, from the day they approached the L-rd in the duties of their ministry.
