PEACE-OFFERINGS — first named when Moses' young men sacrifice oxen alongside burnt offerings at the covenant ceremony (Exodus 24:5, already on these pages), and given its own full law here (Leviticus 3). Built on the same root as shalom, 'peace, wholeness, well-being' — and the offering's own mechanics enact that meaning literally: unlike the burnt-offering, wholly given to Jehovah in smoke, only the FAT of a peace-offering goes to the altar; the rest becomes a shared meal, part for the priests (Leviticus 7, not yet on these pages), the rest for the offerer's own family and guests. A sacrifice divided three ways — God, priest, and worshiper — eating from the same animal at the same time. → first discussed at Exod 24:5
