The book of Leviticus
describes various offerings, their observance and requirements — Guilt Offering,
Burnt Offering, Grain Offering, Sin Offering, and Fellowship Offering. The NIV
Study Bible footnote said, “Thank Offerings were given in gratitude for
deliverance from sickness, trouble, death or a blessing received.” As we celebrate
Thanksgiving and feast on an offering of turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes
and gravy I am truly thankful we are not under the Old Testament Law, “The meat
of his fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is
offered; he must leave none of it till morning” (Leviticus 7:15 NIV).
