T. Directive: Among the sacrifices for Thanksgiving (v12-15), one of each gift (sacrifice animal) is to be presented to the Cohen ·Priest· as his possession, the rest of the animals and the matzah ·unleavened bread· associated will be offered up to Adonai on the altar. The meat is to be eaten that same day
T. Directive: For sacrifices connected with a Vow Offerings (v16-18), the same directions apply, except the meat may be eaten on the second day also, but not on the third day / T. Directive: For Vow Offerings, any meat eaten on the third day will cause the offering to be not accepted and he will bear the consequences of his wrongdoing
T. Directive: The Peace Offering meat may not touch anything unclean, otherwise it must be burned up completely / Directive: Any clean person may eat the Peace Offerings / T. Directive: Any person who is unclean may not offer Peace Offerings, nor may any person who touched something unclean touch the Peace Offerings / Consequence: Such a person will be cut off from his people “ ‘This is the Torah ·Teaching· of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to Adonai . 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving [b] unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil. 13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving. 14 Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to Adonai . It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. 15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16 “ ‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a free will offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten: 17 [c] but what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 18 [d] If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, and it shall not be credited to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.

19 [e] “ ‘The meat that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. [f] It shall be burned with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it; 20 ‡ Lev 7:20 (Lev 7:19-21) (#2b.133): T. A Cohen ·Priest· who is unclean shall not eat any of the peace offering food / R. A person who is unclean shall not eat consecrated food nor holy things but the soul who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to Adonai , having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 21 When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Adonai , that soul shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

22 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, 23 “Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat. 24 The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Adonai , even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people. 26 You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings. 27 Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

28 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, 29 “Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Adonai shall bring his offering to Adonai out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of Adonai made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Adonai . 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron [Light-bringer]’s and his sons’. 32 The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aaron [Light-bringer] who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion. 34 For the breast that is waved and the thigh that is raised I have taken from the children of Israel [God prevails] out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest and to his sons as their chok ·portion· forever from the children of Israel [God prevails].’ ”

35 This is the anointing portion of Aaron [Light-bringer], and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Adonai made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to Adonai in the priest’s office; 36 which Adonai enjoined to be given them of the children of Israel [God prevails], in the day that he anointed them, by a regulation forever throughout all their generations. 37 This is the Torah ·Teaching· of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings; 38 which Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out] in Mount Sinai [Thorn], in the day that he enjoined the children of Israel [God prevails] to offer their offerings to Adonai , in the wilderness of Sinai [Thorn].
