Lev. 7:1–10 This passage focuses on how the guilt offering is to be made. The earlier passage (5:14–6:7) focused on when it was to be offered.
Lev. 7:1–7 This ritual is similar to each of the other offerings, but is not identical with any of them. As in the sin offering, the remaining flesh goes to the priest and his family.
Lev. 7:11–36 The peace offering (see also 3:1–17) is subdivided into three types: thanksgiving in response to God’s favor (7:12, 13, 15), a vow (an offering in fulfillment of a vow; v. 16), and a freewill offering (when there is no specific obligation to make an offering; v. 16). Cut off from his people (vv. 20, 21, 25, 27) could mean that the person is isolated from the community, or it could mean that he actually dies (compare Ex. 31:14; Num. 4:18–20). On the prohibition against eating fat and blood (Lev. 7:22–27), see note on 3:16–17.
