The
peace offering (Hebrew
zevah shelamim) was one of the
sacrifices and offerings in the
Hebrew Bible (Leviticus 3; 7.11–34). The term "peace offering" is generally constructed from "slaughter offering"
zevah and the plural of
shelem (Hebrew
zevah hashelamiym זֶבַח הַשְּׁלָמִים ), but is sometimes found without zevah as
shelamim plural alone. The term
korban shelamim (קורבן שלמים) is also used in rabbinical writings. In English Bible versions the term is rendered "peace offering" (KJV 1611, JPS 1917), "offering of well-being" (NRSV).
