  2. Exposition

How does this peace offering differ from the other peace offering?

Leviticus 3:6 (ESV)

6 “If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD is an animal from the flock, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.

Leviticus 3:6 introduces the second kind of peace offering, an animal from the flock. It is interesting to observe that the age of the sheep is not given. For other religious festivals, such as the Passover, the lamb to be sacrifice is a year old (Exodus 12:5; Exodus 29:38; Leviticus 9:3; Leviticus 23:12).
