Imamat 7:15

7:15 The meat of his ¹  thanksgiving peace offering must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not set any of it aside until morning.

Imamat 23:5-6

23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, ²  is a Passover offering to the Lord. 23:6 Then on the fifteenth day of the same month ³  will be the festival of unleavened bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

[7:15]  ¹ tn In the verse “his” refers to the offerer.

[23:5]  ² tn Heb “between the two evenings,” perhaps designating the time between the setting of the sun and the true darkness of night. Cf. KJV, ASV “at even”; NAB “at the evening twilight.”

[23:5]  sn See B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 156, for a full discussion of the issues raised in this verse. The rabbinic tradition places the slaughter of Passover offerings between approximately 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., not precisely at twilight. Moreover, the term פֶּסַח (pesakh) may mean “protective offering” rather than “Passover offering,” although they amount to about the same thing in the historical context of the exodus from Egypt (see Exod 11-12).

[23:6]  ³ tn Heb “to this month.”
