Lev 7:11
; the latter seems to be here meant, as appears by what follows:
ye shall offer it at your own will; a voluntary freewill offering, of their own accord, and not by force, as Aben Ezra; and in such offerings they were left to their liberty to offer what they pleased, it might be of the flock, or of the herd, a male or a female,
Lev 3:1
. The Targum of Jonathan is"for your acceptation;''that is, that should be offered, and in such a manner as to be accepted of you with God; which sense is countenanced by
Lev 19:7
; and becomes acceptable, when what follows about eating them is attended to.
