John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 6. And if his offering, for a sacrifice of peace offering unto Lord, be of the flock , etc.] As it might be: and be either male or female; which he pleased: he shall offer [it] without blemish ; (see Gill on “ Leviticus 3:1”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-17 - Here is a law that they should eat neither fat nor blood. As for the fat, it means the fat of the inwards, the suet. The blood was forbidde for the same reason; because it was God's part of every sacrifice. God would not permit the blood that made atonement to be used as a commo thing, Heb 10:29; nor will he allow us, though we have the comfort of the atonement made, to claim for ourselves any share in the honour of making it. This taught the Jews to observe distinction between commo and sacred things; it kept them separate from idolaters. It woul impress them more deeply with the belief of some important mystery is the shedding of the blood and the burning the fat of their solem sacrifices. Christ, as the Prince of peace, "made peace with the bloo of his cross." Through him the believer is reconciled to God; an having the peace of God in his heart, he is disposed to follow peac with all men. May the Lord multiply grace, mercy, and peace, to all wh desire to bear the Christian character _________________________________________________
