Leviticus 22:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:29

And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the
Lord
Which was a sort of peace offering, distinct from freewill offerings and vows before spoken of: offer [it] at your own will;
just what they pleased, whether a bullock, a sheep, or a goat, and whether a male or female; these were left to their own option, or for acceptation to you, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi; that is, it was right in them, and they ought to be careful to offer it in such manner, that it might be acceptable to God, by observing the rules given concerning it, particularly what follows.

Leviticus 22:29 In-Context

29 When you sacrifice a thank offering to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
