Context — Regulations for Peace Offeringsgenerated

13Along with his peace offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of leavened bread.
14From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the LORD. It belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
15The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day he offers it; none of it may be left until morning.
16If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.

Leviticus 7:14 provides specific instructions on how the Israelites are to present their peace offerings. This offering, along with accompanying cakes of bread, is a means of expressing gratitude to the LORD. The priest plays a vital role in this process, as he is responsible for handling the blood of the offering, which symbolizes life and dedication to God. This verse emphasizes the communal aspect of worship and the importance of the priest's mediating role in the sacrificial system.

The Key Word קָרְבָּן, qor.bangenerated

The term קָרְבָּן (qorban) refers to an offering or sacrifice brought near to the altar. It is derived from a root meaning to bring near, indicating the act of presenting something to God. This word is commonly associated with various types of offerings, particularly in the context of worship and dedication.

In this verse, the use of קָרְבָּן highlights the significance of the offering as a gift to God, emphasizing the relationship between the worshipper and the divine. The priest's role in receiving this offering further underscores the importance of mediation in the sacrificial system.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The verse contains a main clause with the finite verb הִקְרִ֨יב, he will present, which governs the entire sentence. This verb is followed by a prepositional phrase indicating the source of the offering, a numeral phrase specifying the portion, and several noun phrases that detail the nature of the offering and its intended recipient.

The structure emphasizes the act of presenting the offering to God and clarifies the priest's role in the sacrificial process. The arrangement of phrases highlights the importance of both the offering and the priest's mediation.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates קָרְבָּן as ἀφαίρεμα, indicating a contribution or something taken away for sacred purposes. This choice aligns with the idea of an offering being set apart for God.

The use of προσάχει for הִקְרִ֨יב suggests a focus on the act of bringing something near, which reflects the Hebrew meaning while also emphasizing the relational aspect of the offering.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

14. one out of each oblation] According to the practice in the second temple, ten of each of the three kinds of unleavened cakes and ten leavened cakes were brought. The priest took one out of each ten, and the remainder belonged to the bringer of the sacrifice, to be eaten along with his share of the flesh of the Peace-Offering. These cakes were not treated as Meal-Offerings, for the priests claimed the whole of such offerings (Leviticus 2:3; Leviticus 2:10), but as an accompaniment of the Peace-Offering. Thus four of them were given as ‘Tĕ ?rûmah’ to the Lord for the priest that threw the blood against the altar (see note on Leviticus 1:5). ‘Tĕ ?rûmah,’ ‘heave-offering,’ does not…

The phrase in the passage cited, literally rendered, would be "to exercise" or "put fellowship into activity." The koinonia subsisting among believers because of their inner communion with Christ places them and their gifts and possessions at the service of one another (see COMMUNION).

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Priest

The Heb. kohen, Gr. hierus, Lat. sacerdos, always denote one who offers sacrifices.

At first every man was his own priest, and presented his own sacrifices before God. Afterwards that office devolved on the head of the family, as in the cases of Noah (Gen. 8:20), Abraham (12:7; 13:4), Isaac (26:25), Jacob (31:54), and Job (Job 1:5).

The name first occurs as applied to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18). Under the Levitical arrangements the office of the priesthood was limited to the tribe of Levi, and to only one family of that tribe, the family of Aaron. Certain laws respecting the qualifications of priests are given in Lev. 21:16-23. There are ordinances also regarding the…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The English word is derived from the Greek presbyter , signifying an "elder" (Heb. cohen). Origin. --The idea of a priesthood connects itself in all its forms, pure or corrupted, with the consciousness, more or less distinct of sin. Men feel that they have broken a law. The power above them is holier than they are, and they dare not approach it. They crave for the intervention of some one of whom they can think as likely to be more acceptable than themselves. He must offer up their prayers, thanksgivings, sacrifices. He becomes their representative in "things pertaining unto God." He may become also (though this does not always follow) the representative of God to man. The functions of the priest and prophet may exist in the same person. No trace of a hereditary or caste priesthood meets us in the worship of the patriarchal age. Once and once only does the word cohen meet us as…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

One who officiated in the public worship of God, especially in making expiation for sin, being "ordained for men in things pertaining to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins." In the Old Testament, the priesthood was not annexed to a certain family till after the promulgation of the law by Moses. Before that time, the firstborn of each family, the fathers, the princes, the kings, were priests in their own cities and in their own houses. Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Job, Abimelech and Laban, Isaac and Jacob offered personally their own sacrifices. In the solemnity of the covenant made by the Lord with his people, at the foot of Mount Sinai, Moses performed the office of mediator, and young men were chosen from among Israel to perform the office of priests, Ex 24:5. But after the Lord had chosen the tribe of Levi to…

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Harper, 1889 — Grimm’s Wilke’s Clavis Novi Testamenti, translated, revised and enlarged by Joseph Henry Thayer) is public domain and is set here from the Internet Archive page scan greekenglishlex00grim; it is uncorrected OCR, marked as such on the entry itself, and the Strong’s numbers — which Thayer’s own edition does not carry — were matched by lemma against the other modules on this page. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament (Macmillan, 1880) and Moulton and Milligan’s Vocabulary of the Greek Testament (Hodder & Stoughton, 1930, which entered the United States public domain on 1 January 2026) are set from Internet Archive page scans synonymsofnewtes00treniala and vocabularyofgree00mouluoft, and are likewise uncorrected OCR matched to Strong’s numbers by lemma.
