11 For Peace Offerings.[a]“ ‘This is the law for peace offerings that he shall offer unto the Lord. 12 If he is offering it as a sacrifice of thanksgiving, he shall offer unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers with oil sprinkled on them, and fried cakes of fine flour mixed with oil together with his thanksgiving offering. 13 Besides these he shall also offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 14 From them he shall offer one cake as a wave offering to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who sprinkled the blood of the peace offering. 15 The meat from the thanksgiving sacrifice must be eaten on the same day that it was offered. Nothing is be left over until the morning. 16 But if the offering is a vow offering or a freewill offering, it is be eaten on the day that it was offered, and the leftovers must be eaten the next day. 17 Whatever is still left over until the third day must be burned in the fire. 18 If someone eats the meat of a peace offering on the third day, the offering shall not be pleasing. It shall be of no benefit to the person who offered it. It shall be an abomination, and whoever eats of it shall bear the guilt of his iniquity.
