Leviticus 7:11-21
New Living Translation
Further Instructions for the Peace Offering
11 “These are the instructions regarding the different kinds of peace offerings that may be presented to the Lord. 12 If you present your peace offering as an expression of thanksgiving, the usual animal sacrifice must be accompanied by various kinds of bread made without yeast—thin cakes mixed with olive oil, wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of choice flour mixed with olive oil. 13 This peace offering of thanksgiving must also be accompanied by loaves of bread made with yeast. 14 One of each kind of bread must be presented as a gift to the Lord. It will then belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the peace offering against the altar. 15 The meat of the peace offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the same day it is offered. None of it may be saved for the next morning.
16 “If you bring an offering to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering, the meat must be eaten on the same day the sacrifice is offered, but whatever is left over may be eaten on the second day. 17 Any meat left over until the third day must be completely burned up. 18 If any of the meat from the peace offering is eaten on the third day, the person who presented it will not be accepted by the Lord. You will receive no credit for offering it. By then the meat will be contaminated; if you eat it, you will be punished for your sin.
19 “Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are ceremonially clean. 20 If you are ceremonially unclean and you eat meat from a peace offering that was presented to the Lord, you will be cut off from the community. 21 If you touch anything that is unclean (whether it is human defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a peace offering presented to the Lord, you will be cut off from the community.”

Leviticus 7:11-21
New American Standard Bible
11 ‘Now this is the law of the (A)sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the Lord. 12 If he offers it by way of (B)thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer (C)unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers [a]spread with oil, and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil. 13 With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of (D)leavened bread. 14 Of [b]this he shall present one of every offering as a [c]contribution to the Lord; (E)it shall [d]belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
15 ‘(F)Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning. 16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a [e](G)vow or a [f]voluntary offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next [g]day what is left of it may be eaten; 17 (H)but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 18 So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is ever eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be credited to him. It will be an (I)unclean thing, and the person who eats it shall bear his punishment.
19 ‘Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. [h]As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh. 20 (J)But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, [i]when he is unclean, that person (K)shall be cut off from his people. 21 (L)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean [j]detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”
