Leviticus 7:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

14 From this the individual shall offer one bread of each type of offering as a contribution[a] to the Lord; this shall belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the communion offering.

15 [b](A)The meat of the thanksgiving communion sacrifice shall be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be kept till the next morning.(B) 16 However, if the sacrifice offered is a votive or a voluntary offering,[c] it shall be eaten on the day the sacrifice is offered, and on the next day what is left over may be eaten.(C)

Footnotes

  1. 7:14 Contribution: Hebrew terumah. This does not indicate a particular ritual action. The word simply means “gift, something set apart.”
  2. 7:15–18 Sacrifices must be properly consumed for them to be effective (cf. also 19:5–8; 22:30). Similar rules obtain for the Passover offering (Ex 12:10; Nm 9:12; cf. Ex 23:18; 34:25; Dt 16:4) and the ordination offering (Ex 29:34; Lv 8:32).
  3. 7:16 Votive or a voluntary offering: these are not specific types of offerings but rather motivations for bringing the communion sacrifice (cf. 22:18). A votive offering is brought as the consequence of a promise (vow) made to God. A voluntary offering is a spontaneous gift to God independent of a prior promise. See note on 27:2–13.
