The Fellowship Sacrifice

11“Now this is the law of the fellowship sacrifice dthat someone may present to the Lord: 12If he presents it for thanksgiving, in addition to the thanksgiving sacrifice, efhe is to present unleavened cakes gmixed with olive oil, unleavened wafers hcoated with oil, and well-kneaded cakes of fine flour mixed with oil. 13He is to present as his offering cakes of leavened bread iwith his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship. 14From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution jto the Lord. It will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his. 15The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it; khe may not leave any of it until morning. l

16“If the sacrifice he offers is a vow mnor a freewill offering, opit is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day. 17But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned up. q18If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. rIt will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive. sThe person who eats any of it will be responsible for his sin. t

19“Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat. 20But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, uthat person must be cut off from his people. v21If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable wxcreature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person must be cut off from his people.”
