Leviticus 3:1
英文原文
The peace-offering (like the burnt-offering, Leviticus 1:3, and the Minchah, Leviticus 2:1) is here spoken of as if it was familiarly known before the giving of the Law. "Peace-offering" seems preferable to "thank-offering," which occurs in several places in the margin of our Bible. "thank-offering" appears to be the right name for a subordinate class of peace-offering.

見利 1:10註釋。飛鳥不被接納為平安祭,極可能是因為鳥本身不足以構成一席祭筵。
英文原文
See Leviticus 1:10 note. Birds were not accepted as peace-offerings, most probably because they were, by themselves, insufficient to make up a sacrificial meal.
16
Leviticus 3:16
更確切地說，應譯作「一切的脂油都當作為耶和華食物的馨香火祭」。我們身體的味覺與嗅覺，正描繪了主悅納那象徵內心真實敬拜之既定表記時的滿足。凡在壇火中焚燒獻上的——包括贖罪祭的部分（Leviticus 4:31），以及燔祭（Leviticus 1:9 等）——都蒙悅納為「馨香的火祭」；然而「食物」一詞用於平安祭時，或有其特殊的貼切之處，因為平安祭也作祭司與獻祭者的食物，如此便象徵主、祂的僕役與敬拜祂的人之間的相交。
「脂油都是耶和華的」——其意義看來在於：脂油在牲畜體內的充分發育，一般而言乃是完全的標記。
英文原文
Rather, as food of an offering made by fire for a sweet savour, shall all the fat be for Yahweh. Our bodily taste and smell furnish figures of the satisfaction with which the Lord accepts the appointed symbols of the true worship of the heart. All that was sent up in the fire of the altar, including the parts of the sin-offering Leviticus 4:31, as well as the burnt-offering (Leviticus 1:9, etc.), was accepted for "a sweet savour": but the word food may here have a special fitness in its application to the peace-offering, which served for food also to the priests and the offerer, and so symbolized communion between the Lord, His ministers, and His worshippers.
The fat is the Lord's - The significance of this appears to consist in the fact that its proper development in the animal is, in general, a mark of perfection.
17
Leviticus 3:17
「血」——見 Leviticus 17:11 註釋。
「在你們一切的住處」——脂油無論在聖所獻祭的筵席上，或在私人家中的日常飲食中，都不可吃。
英文原文
Blood - See Leviticus 17:11 note.
Throughout all your dwellings - The suet was neither to be eaten in sacrificial meals in the sanctuary, nor in ordinary meals in private houses.
平安祭(像燔祭(利 1:3)和素祭 Minhah(利 2:1)一樣)在此被論及時,彷彿是律法頒賜以前人們已熟知的祭。「平安祭」一名,似乎比我們聖經頁邊註多處出現的「感謝祭」更為可取;「感謝祭」似乎是平安祭中一個附屬類別的正確名稱。
