Now this is the law
The phrase "Now this is the law" introduces a specific set of divine instructions. The Hebrew word for "law" here is "תּוֹרָה" (torah), which means instruction or teaching. In the context of Leviticus, it signifies God's direct guidance to His people, Israel, on how to live in a way that is pleasing to Him. This underscores the importance of divine order and the sacredness of following God's commandments. The law is not merely a set of rules but a pathway to holiness and communion with God.

of the peace offering
The "peace offering," or "שֶׁלֶם" (shelem) in Hebrew, is a sacrifice that symbolizes fellowship and reconciliation with God. It is distinct from other offerings because it is voluntary and expresses gratitude, vows, or freewill. The peace offering is a profound representation of the believer's restored relationship with God, highlighting the joy and harmony that come from being in right standing with Him. Historically, this offering involved the sharing of a meal, symbolizing community and unity among the people and with God.

that one may present
The phrase "that one may present" indicates the personal responsibility and privilege of the individual to bring an offering to God. The Hebrew root "קָרַב" (qarab) means to draw near or approach. This act of presenting an offering is an intimate gesture of worship and devotion, signifying the worshiper's desire to come closer to God. It reflects the personal nature of faith and the active role of the believer in seeking God's presence.

to the LORD
The term "to the LORD" emphasizes the direction and purpose of the offering. The Hebrew name used here is "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature. Offering to the LORD is an act of acknowledging His sovereignty and holiness. It is a reminder that all acts of worship are directed towards God alone, who is worthy of all honor and praise. This phrase encapsulates the ultimate goal of the peace offering: to honor and glorify God, fostering a deeper relationship with Him.

(11) And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings.--That is, the rites to be observed in connection with this sacrifice. As in the case of the sin offering (Leviticus 4:24-31 with Leviticus 6:24-30) and the trespass offering (Leviticus 5:1-13 with Leviticus 7:1-10), so here (Leviticus 7:11-21), we have more specific and fuller directions given to the priests with regard to the peace offerings, about which orders had previously been given to the people (Leviticus 3:1-15). . . . Verses 11-21. - Further ritual of the peace offering (see note on chapter Leviticus 3:1). There are three sorts of peace offerings - thank offerings (verses 12-15), votive offerings, and voluntary offerings (verses 16-18). Of these, the thank offerings were made in thankful memorial for past mercies; votive offerings were made in fulfillment of a vow previously taken, that such offering should be presented if a terrain condition were fulfilled. Voluntary offerings differ from votive offerings by not having been previously vowed, and from thank offerings by not having reference to any special mercy received. The thank offering must be eaten by the offerer and his friends, on the same day that it was offered; the votive and the voluntary offerings, which were inferior to the thank offering in sanctity, on the same day or the next. The reason why a longer time was not given probably was that the more the meal was delayed, the less would a religious character be attached to it. The necessity of a quick consumption also took away the temptation of acting grudgingly towards those with whom the feast might be shared, and it likewise precluded the danger of the flesh becoming corrupted. If any of the flesh remained till the third day, it was to be burnt with fire; if eaten on that day, it should not be accepted or imputed unto him that offered, that is, it should not be regarded as a sacrifice of sweet savour to God, but an abomination (literally, a stench), and whoever ate it should bear his iniquity, that is, should be guilty of an offense, requiring, probably, a sin offering to atone for it. The bread gift accompanying the animal sacrifice was to consist of three kinds of unleavened cakes, and one cake of leavened bread, and one out of the whole oblation, that is, one cake of each kind, was to be offered by heaving and then given to the officiating priest, the remaining cakes forming a part of the offerer's festive meal. If any one took part of a feast on a peace offering while in a state of Levitical uncleanness, he was to be cut off from his people, that is, excommunicated, without permission to recover immediate communion by offering a sin offering. St. Paul joined in a votive offering (Acts 21:26).
