Postive Mitzvah Sixty-Six The Shelamim-offering (Peace-offering)
Four rituals, those of the Olah-offering, the Chataat-offering, the Asham-offering, and the Shelamim-offering make up the whole of the ritual of sacrifices - for all offerings of animals, whether brought by an individual or by the congregation of Yisrael, belong to one of these four kinds, except the Asham-offering is always an individual offering. The Thank-offering was brought by an individual when delivered from sickness or imprisonment, as well as after having successfully completed a voyage either across the sea or through the wilderness (Ber. 54b) |
