Commentary for Leviticus 7:32

1. Themes:
- Sacrifice and Worship: The verse emphasizes the rituals associated with peace offerings, which were a form of voluntary sacrifice to God, expressing gratitude or celebrating a special occasion.
- Priesthood and Service: It highlights the role of the priesthood in ancient Israelite society, specifically the priests' entitlement to certain portions of the sacrificial offerings as their due for ministering before God.
- Divine Ordinances: The detailed instructions for offerings underscore the importance of adhering to God's commands as a means of maintaining right relationship with the divine and the community.

2. Historical Context:
- Leviticus is the third book of the Pentateuch, traditionally attributed to Moses, and is a collection of laws and rituals for the Israelites after their Exodus from Egypt.
- The laws in Leviticus were given to the Israelites in the wilderness, before they entered the Promised Land, to instruct them on how to live in a way that was holy and set apart for God.
- The book is set within the broader context of establishing the covenant between God and Israel, with the sacrificial system being central to worship and atonement in ancient Israelite religion.
- The peace offering, in particular, was one of several types of offerings that could be made, and it involved shared meals between God, the priests, and the offerer, symbolizing fellowship and communal unity.

In summary, Leviticus 7:32 reflects the detailed prescriptions for worship in ancient Israel, reinforcing the sanctity of the priesthood and the necessity of following divine ordinances to maintain the religious and social order of the time.
