What it means

A sacrifice in which selected portions were burned and the rest became a shared sacred meal.

It could express thanksgiving, accompany a vow, or be freely offered. Rules governed who could eat it and how quickly it had to be consumed.

How it appears in the Bible

Its name is related to well-being and peace, so English translations vary between fellowship, peace, and well-being offering.
