Day 4 Verses 11 and 16 gives us significant insight. Now the Lord wasn't actually eating the fat burning on the altar, but He was partaking of it in a sense. As we're going to find out in chapter 7, the peace offering was also eaten by the priests and the worshippers. The peace offering was a community meal shared by the worshipper, the priests, and the Lord. The Jews had a contention that when you ate with someone, you were becoming one with them. Everyone did not have his or her own plates. There were big loaves of bread and bowls of soup or broth to dip the bread in. There you were, ingesting the same bread and broth that the person next to you was ingesting. You may recall that one of the problems that the Pharisees and Scribes had with Jesus was that...”This man receives sinners and eats with them." So, eating with someone was to be become one with them. It is very significant that the fellowship offering was considered by God to be food. He "ate," the priests ate, and the worshippers ate. They were all becoming one in fellowship. Through Jesus Christ, our Peace Offering, we have fellowship with God, and also fellowship with each other. Eat up!
