“And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.”
And for the sacrifice of peace offering, two oxen, five rams, five male goats, and five male lambs a year old — the peace offering, the most elaborate, involves the largest count of animals and establishes communal meal and fellowship with God. The fivefold repetition suggests completeness or fullness of communion. These animals will be eaten by the offerer and priests, creating a shared meal of covenant renewal.
