The sanctity of the service of God.

The peace offering may be offered for thanksgiving, in which case it has appropriate ceremonies (). There is also the peace offering of a vow, the ceremonies of which are the same as those of the voluntary offering (; also Le ). In connection with this subject, we are admonished of the sanctity of the service of God; and similar admonitions arc given in what follows.

I. WE SEE THIS SANCTITY IN THE SANCTIONS OF THE LAW OF THE PEACE OFFERING.

1. Consider the precept.

2. Consider the penalties.

II. THIS SANCTITY IS FURTHER SEEN IN THE PENALTIES IMPOSED IN OTHER CASES. Thus:

1. When the flesh of sacrifice is unlawfully eaten.

2. When holy things are profaned.
