Peace offering

The peace offering was one of the sacrifices and offerings in the Hebrew Bible. The term "peace offering" is generally is constructed from "slaughter offering" zevah and the plural of shelem, but is sometimes found without zevah as shelamim plural alone. The term korban shelamim is also used in rabbinical writings. In English Bible versions the term is rendered "peace offering", "offering of well-being". Parallels of offerings with the same semitic root S-L-M also occur in Ugaritic texts. After the Hebrew Bible the term also occurs in the Dead Sea scrolls, for example in the Temple Scroll. In the Septuagint the term is rendered by two different Greek nouns. First in the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges variations of soterios; in Samuel and Kings variations of eirenikos.
