Additional Laws for Fellowship Offerings

11 “‘And this is the regulation of the fellowship offerings that he must present to Yahweh: 12 If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice he shall present ring-shaped unleavened bread mixed with oil and unleavened bread wafers smeared with oil and well-mixed ring-shaped bread cakes of finely milled flour mixed with oil. 13 In addition to ring-shaped cakes of bread with yeast, he must present his grain[a] offering together with[b] his sacrifice of thanksgiving peace offerings. 14 And he shall present one of each kind of grain[c] offering as a contribution for Yahweh; it belongs to[d] the priest who sprinkles the fellowship offerings’ blood. 15 And the meat of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving fellowship offerings must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not leave it until morning.

16 “‘But[e] if his sacrifice is for a vow or as a freewill offering, it must be eaten on the day of his presenting his sacrifice, and on the next day the remainder[f] from it may be eaten, 17 but[g] the remainder from the sacrifice’s meat must be burned up in the fire on the third day. 18 And if indeed some of the meat of his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted; it will not be considered of benefit for the one who presented it—it shall be unclean meat, and the person[h] who eats it shall bear his guilt. 19 And the meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned with fire, and as for the clean[i] meat, anyone who is clean may eat the meat. 20 And the person[j] who eats meat from the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, and whose uncleanness is upon him—that person[k] shall be cut off from his people. 21 And when a person[l] touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and he eats from the meat of the fellowship offerings’ sacrifice, which is for Yahweh, then[m] that person[n] shall be cut off from his people.’”

The Fellowship Sacrifice

11 “Now this is the law of the fellowship sacrifice(A) that someone may present to the Lord: 12 If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice,(B) he is to present unleavened cakes(C) mixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers(D) coated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13 He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened bread with his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship. 14 From the cakes he is to present one portion of each offering as a contribution(E) to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his. 15 The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it;(F) he may not leave any of it until morning.(G)

16 “If the sacrifice he offers is a vow(H) or a freewill offering,(I) it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day. 17 But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned.(J) 18 If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted.(K) It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive.(L) The person who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.[a]

19 “Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat. 20 But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.(M) 21 If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, abhorrent[b](N) creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person is to be cut off from his people.”
