Imamat 7:15-18

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.

7:16 “‘If his offering is a votive or freewill sacrifice, ²  it may be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and also the leftovers from it may be eaten on the next day, ³  7:17 but the leftovers from the meat of the sacrifice must be burned up in the fire ⁴  on the third day. 7:18 If some of the meat of his peace offering sacrifice is ever eaten on the third day it will not be accepted; it will not be accounted to the one who presented it, since it is spoiled, ⁵  and the person who eats from it will bear his punishment for iniquity. ⁶ 

Ulangan 12:17-18

12:17 You will not be allowed to eat in your villages your tithe of grain, new wine, olive oil, the firstborn of your herd and flock, any votive offerings you have vowed, or your freewill and personal offerings. 12:18 Only in the presence of the Lord your God may you eat these, in the place he ⁷  chooses. This applies to you, your son, your daughter, your male and female servants, and the Levites ⁸  in your villages. In that place you will rejoice before the Lord your God in all the output of your labor. ⁹ 

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

[7:16]  ² tn For the distinction between votive and freewill offerings see the note on Lev 22:23 and the literature cited there.

[7:16]  ³ tn Heb “and on the next day and the left over from it shall be eaten.”

[7:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “burned with fire,” an expression which is sometimes redundant in English, but here means “burned up,” “burned up entirely” (likewise in v. 19).

[7:18]  ⁵ tn Or “desecrated,” or “defiled,” or “forbidden.” For this difficult term see J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:422. Cf. NIV “it is impure”; NCV “it will become unclean”; NLT “will be contaminated.”

[7:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “his iniquity he shall bear” (cf. Lev 5:1); NIV “will be held responsible”; NRSV “shall incur guilt”; TEV “will suffer the consequences.”

[12:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 12:5.

[12:18]  ⁸ tn See note at Deut 12:12.

[12:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “in all the sending forth of your hands.”
