英文原文
Le 3:1-17.
THE PEACE OFFERING OF THE HERD.
1. if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering--"Peace" being used in Scripture to denote prosperity and happiness generally, a peace offering was a voluntary tribute of gratitude for health or other benefits. In this view it was eucharistic, being a token of thanksgiving for benefits already received, or it was sometimes votive, presented in prayer for benefits wished for in the future.
of the herd--This kind of offering being of a festive character, either male or female, if without blemish, might be used, as both of them were equally good for food, and, if the circumstances of the offerer allowed it, it might be a calf.

2. 按手在他的供物頭上——行了這富有意義的舉動之後，便在會幕門口宰殺它，祭司將血灑在壇的周圍。
英文原文
2. he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering--Having performed this significant act, he killed it before the door of the tabernacle, and the priests sprinkled the blood round about upon the altar.

3. 從平安祭中奉上——平安祭與先前所述的供物不同之處在於：燔祭全然在壇上焚燒，樂意祭一部分焚燒、一部分歸祭司；而在這祭中，只有脂肪被焚燒；只有一小部分歸祭司，其餘則歸獻祭者與他的朋友，這樣便構成了一個神聖的宴席，由耶和華、他的祭司和百姓一同享用，象徵著屬靈的宴席——即信徒藉著那偉大的平安祭基督所享受的神聖交通。（詳見
Le 19:5-8; 22:21）。
蓋臟的脂油——即剖開牛腹時首先映入眼簾的網狀脂油。
臟上的脂油——附在腸上但易於剝離的；或照某些人之見，指靠近胃的那部分。
英文原文
3. he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering--The peace offering differed from the oblations formerly mentioned in this respect: while the burnt offering was wholly consumed on the altar, and the freewill offering was partly consumed and partly assigned to the priests; in this offering the fat alone was burnt; only a small part was allotted to the priests while the rest was granted to the offerer and his friends, thus forming a sacred feast of which the Lord, His priests, and people conjointly partook, and which was symbolical of the spiritual feast, the sacred communion which, through Christ, the great peace offering, believers enjoy. (See further on
Le 19:5-8; 22:21).
the fat that covereth the inwards--that is, the web work that presents itself first to the eye on opening the belly of a cow.
the fat . . . upon the inwards--adhering to the intestines, but easily removable from them; or, according to some, that which was next the ventricle.

4-11. 兩個腰子……羊群中……整條肥尾巴——東方國家有一種羊，尾巴不下四呎半長。這些尾巴是介於脂肪與骨髓之間的物質。這種羊重六十至七十英磅，其中尾巴通常重十五磅以上。這品種在阿拉伯、敘利亞和巴勒斯坦最為眾多，很可能構成以色列人羊群的一大部分，似乎就是通常在猶太祭壇上被宰殺的那種。其尾巴異常巨大而美味，使這條律法更顯重要。以明文律法吩咐將某種羊的尾巴獻為祭給神，或許令我們詫異；但當我們得知這些闊尾的東方綿羊、以及那條律法中特別指明的部分極其精美時，詫異便消失了[PAXTON]。
英文原文
4-11. the two kidneys . . . of the flock . . . the whole rump--There is, in Eastern countries, a species of sheep the tails of which are not less than four feet and a half in length. These tails are of a substance between fat and marrow. A sheep of this kind weighs sixty or seventy English pounds weight, of which the tail usually weighs fifteen pounds and upwards. This species is by far the most numerous in Arabia, Syria, and Palestine, and, forming probably a large portion in the flocks of the Israelites, it seems to have been the kind that usually bled on the Jewish altars. The extraordinary size and deliciousness of their tails give additional importance to this law. To command by an express law the tail of a certain sheep to be offered in sacrifice to God, might well surprise us; but the wonder ceases, when we are told of those broad-tailed Eastern sheep, and of the extreme delicacy of that part which was so particularly specified in the statute [PAXTON].

12. 若他的供物是山羊——無論選擇這一種或其他兩種動物中的哪一種，獻祭的儀式都要遵守同樣的一般指示。
英文原文
12. if his offering be a goat--Whether this or any of the other two animals were chosen, the same general directions were to be followed in the ceremony of offering.

17. 你們都不可吃脂油和血——上文所詳述的，明確界定了動物中不可吃的脂油，因此其餘一切——無論是附在其他部分上的、或與之混合的——都可以用。禁血的根據則不同，乃是為要保守他們對彌賽亞的敬畏，因他要為世人的罪流出寶血，作為贖罪祭[BROWN]。
英文原文
17. ye eat neither fat nor blood--The details given above distinctly define the fat in animals which was not to be eaten, so that all the rest, whatever adhered to other parts, or was intermixed with them, might be used. The prohibition of blood rested on a different foundation, being intended to preserve their reverence for the Messiah, who was to shed His blood as an stoning sacrifice for the sins of the world [BROWN].
Le 3:1-17.
牛群之平安祭
1. 若他的供物是獻平安祭——聖經中「平安」一詞常用以指興盛與幸福之總意，故平安祭乃為健康或其他恩惠而獻的感恩自願祭。就此而言，它是感恩之祭，是為已領受之恩而獻的感謝標記；有時它也是許願之祭，是為將來所盼望之恩而在祈求中獻上的。
牛群——此種祭既帶有節慶之性質，無論公母，只要無瑕疵，皆可使用，因二者作食物同等美好；若獻祭者環境允許，也可獻一隻牛犢。
