Context — The Peace Offering
9Likewise, every grain offering that is baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it,
10and every grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron.
11Now this is the law of the peace offering that one may present to the LORD:
12If he offers it in thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.Cross References

| 1 | Leviticus 22:18–21 | “Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites and tell them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or any foreign resident who presents a gift for a burnt offering to the LORD, whether to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, must offer an unblemished male from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for it to be accepted on your behalf. You must not present anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf. When a man presents a peace offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be without blemish or defect to be acceptable. |
| 2 | Ezekiel 45:15 | And one sheep shall be given from each flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These are for the grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for the people, declares the Lord GOD. |
| 3 | Leviticus 3:1–17 | “If one’s offering is a peace offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he must present it without blemish before the LORD. He is to lay his hand on the head of the offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar. From the peace offering he is to bring an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. Then Aaron’s sons are to burn it on the altar atop the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. If, however, one’s peace offering to the LORD is from the flock, he must present a male or female without blemish. If he is presenting a lamb for his offering, he must present it before the LORD. He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar. And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to the LORD consisting of its fat: the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. Then the priest is to burn them on the altar as food, an offering made by fire to the LORD. If one’s offering is a goat, he is to present it before the LORD. He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it in front of the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar. And from his offering he shall present an offering made by fire to the LORD: the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys. Then the priest is to burn the food on the altar as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the LORD’s. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.” |
Leviticus 7:11 Summary
[This verse, Leviticus 7:11, introduces the law of the peace offering, which was a special sacrifice that the Israelites could offer to God as a way of saying thank you for His blessings and goodness in their lives. The peace offering was a way for the people to express their gratitude and worship to God, and it's still an important part of our relationship with Him today, as seen in Psalm 100:4-5. Just like the Israelites, we can offer our own 'sacrifices of thanksgiving' to God, whether through prayer, music, or service to others, as a way of honoring and praising Him. By doing so, we can deepen our relationship with God and experience His peace and joy in our lives, as promised in Philippians 4:6-7.]

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 7:11
And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which ye shall offer unto the Lord.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:11
And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD. This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:11
Leviticus 7:11 And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.Ver. 11. Sacrifice of peace offerings.] Or, pay offering. See Psalms 116:14. "I will pay," or, I will perfect. Fitly; for a vow, till paid, is an imperfect thing.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:11
(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). Which he shall offer.—That is, he who feels it his duty to offer it to the Lord. This common Hebrew idiom of using a verb with he in it without an antecedent is better expressed in English by the impersonal, which one shall offer, or by the passive, which shall be offered. (See Leviticus 7:20-29.) Three classes of peace offerings are specified—(1) an acknowledgment of mercies received, (2) as a vow offering, (3) as a freewill offering.
