Gadis-gadis itu menjawab mereka dan berkata, “Ada. Itu dia, di depanmu. Cepatlah sekarang, karena hari ini ia datang ke kota, sebab hari ini ada kurban bagi rakyat di bukit tempat persembahan.

A peace-offering (זבח). A peace-offering is called a זבח (feast), on the other hand, a burntoffering, a sin-offering, or a guilt-offering are never associated with the word זבח. This is because the owner eats the peace-offerings meat in the company of his family, friends, and acquaintances, and he praises God and thanks Him for His Kindness. Additionally, more people are needed so that the meat will not become left-over. Therefore it is called a זבח שלמים, because זבח connotes a festive meal. The other offerings, however, which are not eaten by the owners, are not called זבח.
