4,164. The Three Types of Individual Peace Offerings
Hilchos Maasei Hakarbanos 9:4
The procedure for communal peace offerings is as follows: The sheep is slaughtered and its blood sprinkled, as has already been discussed. The animal is skinned and the pieces to be offered are removed, salted and burned. The rest of the meat is eaten by male kohanim following the same rules as eating a sin offering and a guilt offering. This is because all these offerings are sacrifices of the highest sanctity, as has already been discussed.
Hilchos Maasei Hakarbanos 9:5
The three types of individual peace offerings are: (1) one that is brought without bread, such as the festival offering (chagigah) and the celebratory offering (shalmei simcha), which are called peace offerings (shelamim); (2) one brought with bread because of a vow or a pledge, which is called a thanksgiving offering (todah) and the bread is called the bread of a thanksgiving offering; (3) one brought by a nazir on the day he completes his obligation. This is brought with bread and is called the ram of a nazir.
