Proverbs 7:14

“[I have] peace offerings with me, etc.] Meaning at her house. These peace offerings were of the eucharistic kind; they were offered by way of thanksgiving for favours received; the greatest part of which, all excepting the fat on the kidneys, the rump of the sheep, the breast and right shoulder, which were the priest’s, were returned to the offerers to feast upon with their friends, and were to be eaten the same day, (<030711>Leviticus 7:11-15). This she said to show that she was no common strumpet, or that prostituted herself for gain; that she was a sufficient housewife, had a considerable affluence of life, her substance greatly increased, for which she had made her thank offering that…”

“This pretence of a religious feast gives us an insight into some strange features of popular religion under the monarchy of Judah. The harlot uses the technical word Leviticus 3:1 for the “peace-offerings,” and makes them the starting-point for her sin. They have to be eaten on the same day that they are offered Leviticus 7:15-16, and she invites her victim to the feast.

If we assume, as probable, that these harlots of Jerusalem were…”

“I have peace offerings with me: Heb. Peace-offerings are upon me, Pro 15:8, Pro 17:1, Pro 21:27; Lev 7:15; Deu 12:6, Deu 12:7 this: Sa2 15:7-9; Kg1 21:9, Kg1 21:10; Joh 18:28 Proverbs 7:16”

“She laid hold on him and kissed him, both of which actions were shameless, and then, assuming the passivity and modesty befitting the woman, and disregarding morality and the law, she said to the youth: 14 "To bring peace-offerings was binding upon me, To-day have I redeemed my vows. 15 Therefore am I come out to meet thee, To seek thy face, and have found thee." We have translated זבחי שׁלמים "peace-offerings," proceeding on the principle that שׁלם (sing. only Amo 5:22, and on the Phoenician altar at Marseilles) denotes contracting friendship with one (from שׁלם, to hold friendly relationship), and then the gifts having this in view; for the idea of this kind of offering is the attestation…”
