Leviticus 7:11-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Fellowship Offering

¹¹ And this is the law for the sacrifice of the fellowship offering that is presented to the Lord.

¹² If anyone presents it for thanksgiving, then, in addition to what he is offering as the thank offering, he shall present round unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and ring-shaped loaves made of well-soaked fine flour, mixed with oil.^{[a] 13} In addition to the sacrifice of his fellowship offering that was presented as a thank offering, he shall present round loaves of leavened bread with his offering. ¹⁴ From this he shall present one of each kind as an offering elevated to the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering. ¹⁵ The meat from the sacrifice of his fellowship offering for thanksgiving is to be eaten on the day that it is presented. None of it is to be left until morning.

¹⁶ But if the sacrifice that he offers is an offering to fulfill a vow or a voluntary^[b] offering, it may be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice. Whatever is left of it may also be eaten the next day, ¹⁷ but whatever meat is left on the third day is to be burned with fire. ¹⁸ Indeed, if any of the meat from the sacrifice of his fellowship offering is eaten on the third day, the one who presented it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to him. It will be regarded as rotten meat. Any person who eats any of it shall bear his guilt.

¹⁹ Meat that touches anything that is ceremonially unclean must not be eaten. It must be burned with fire. As for the other meat from the fellowship offering, anyone who is clean may eat such meat. ²⁰ But the person who eats the meat from the sacrifice of his fellowship offering to the Lord while in a state of uncleanness will be cut off from his people. ²¹ If a person touches any unclean thing, whether it is human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any detestable creature, and then eats some of the meat from the sacrifice of a fellowship offering which belongs to the Lord, that person will be cut off from his people.
