More Than Just Peace
Commentators explain that the term 'peace offering' encompasses more than just tranquility. It was offered in thanksgiving for past blessings, as a prayer for future well-being, and to celebrate friendship with God. John Calvin suggests the term 'prosperities' is fitting, as the offering confessed God as the source of all good things. Matthew Henry describes it as a shared feast between God and the worshipper, signifying a healthy relationship.
