A slaughter offering (Though zevaḥ simply means sacrifice in modern Hebrew, it originally meant slaughter - Peake's commentary on the Bible) is a type of Biblical sacrifice, specifically the slaughter of an animal for the purpose of a feast or a meal. The slaughter offering is sometimes referred to as a sacrifice-of-peace offering (Hebrew: Zevaḥ shelamim), which is sometimes shortened to peace offering (Hebrew: shelamim), but although shelamim is usually translated into English as peace-offering, it more accurately means also health and prosperity.
