Eating the Peace Offering

“‘When you sacrifice a peace-offering sacrifice to the Lord, you must sacrifice it so that it is accepted for you.[a] It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and on the following day,[b] but what is left over until the third day must be burned up.[c] If, however, it is eaten[d] on the third day, it is spoiled;[e] it will not be accepted, and the one who eats it will bear his punishment for iniquity[f] because he has profaned[g] what is holy to the Lord.[h] That person will be cut off from his people.[i]

“‘And when you[a] sacrifice a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you[b] must sacrifice it for your[c] acceptance. It must be eaten on the day of your[d] sacrifice and the next day; but[e] the remainder must be burned up in the fire by the third day. And if it is indeed eaten on the third day, it is unclean meat; it shall not be regarded as accepted. And the one who eats it shall bear his guilt, because he has profaned Yahweh’s holiness, and that person shall be cut off from his people.
