Commentary

Matthew Henry on Leviticus 7:11-34

All this relates to the peace-offerings: it is the repetition and explication of what we had before, with various additions. I. The nature and intention of the peace-offerings are here more distinctly opened. They were offered either, 1. In thankfulness for some special mercy received, such as recovery from sickness, preservation in a journey, deliverance at sea, redemption out of captivity, all which are specified in Ps. 107, and for them men are called upon to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, Lev 7:22. Or, 2. In performance of some vow which a man made when he was in distress (Lev 7:16), and this was less honourable than the former, though the omission of it would have been more culpab…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:29

THE PRIESTS' PORTION. (Lev 7:28-38) He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the Lord--In order to show that the sacrifice was voluntary, the offerer was required to bring it with his own hands to the priest. The breast having been waved to and fro in a solemn manner as devoted to God, 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.

Adam Clarke on Leviticus 7:29

Shall bring his oblation - Meaning those things which were given out of the peace-offerings to the Lord and to the priest - Ainsworth.

John Gill on Leviticus 7:29

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,.... Giving them the further instructions concerning their peace offerings: he that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the Lord; whether it he for thanksgiving, or as a vow, or a voluntary oblation, and whether it be of the herd or of the flock, an ox or a cow, a lamb or a goat: shall bring his oblation unto the Lord of the sacrifice of his peace offerings; that is, the unleavened cakes, wafers, and fried cakes, and unleavened bread, which are called the whole oblation, Leviticus 7:10.

The Church Fathers

What does it mean if, in speaking of the sacrifices of salvation, the text warns again and says that the one who offers the gift of the sacrifice of his salvation should give the priests the victim's chest and leg, but So that the fat of the breast is offered to the Lord with the part that covers the liver, and, on the other hand, when speaking before the sacrifices of salvation, the Scripture ordered that the part that covers the liver along with the fat of the belly and kidneys and of the loins (Cf Lv 4,9), and omitted the relative to the fat of the chest? Does he mention here what he omitted there? But why does he speak here and there of the part that covers the liver? Is there perhaps a difference between what was said earlier about the sacrifice of salvation and what is added here of his salvation, as if one thing were salvation and another salvation?
