Strong's Lexicon shelem: Peace offering, fellowship offering Original Word: שֶׁלֶם Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלַם (shalam), meaning "to be complete" or "to make peace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1515 (εἰρήνη, eirēnē) - Often translated as "peace," this Greek term captures the essence of harmony and reconciliation found in the Hebrew concept of "shelem." Usage: The term "shelem" refers to a type of sacrifice in the Old Testament, commonly known as a peace offering or fellowship offering. It was a voluntary sacrifice made by the Israelites to express gratitude, fulfill a vow, or seek peace and fellowship with God. The offering symbolized reconciliation and communion with God, as well as harmony within the community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, the peace offering was one of the key sacrifices outlined in the Levitical law. It was distinct from other offerings like the burnt offering or sin offering. The peace offering was unique in that it was shared among the offerer, the priests, and God. A portion of the sacrifice was burned on the altar, a portion was given to the priests, and the remaining part was consumed by the offerer and their family in a communal meal. This practice emphasized the communal and relational aspects of worship, highlighting the importance of fellowship with God and others.
