And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace-offering, if he offer it of the herd, whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. The designation "peace-offering" seems to have been the more general term, for these sacrifices included also the thank-offerings and the salvation-offerings. Another division is that into thanksgiving, vow, and free-will offerings, Leviticus 7:11-18. Some peace-offerings were made in times of distress, the idea associated with them being that of supplication for divine help, Judges 20:26; Judges 21:4; 1 Samuel 13:9; 2 Samuel 14:25.
