Commentary on Numbers 7:17
The peace offerings of oxen, rams, goats, and lambs constituted a feast celebrated in God's presence. These offerings were partially burned on the altar, partially given to the priests, and partially eaten by the offerer, symbolizing communion with God and community. The variety and number of animals (seven total) indicate abundant provision for celebration. This reflects the Reformed understanding that God is glorified not only in our sacrifices but in our joy and fellowship in His presence. Worship includes both solemnity and celebration.
