Lévitique 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:15

And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for
thanksgiving
Having given directions about the cakes and bread that went along with the peace offerings, offered in thankfulness for mercies received; instructions are next given about eating the flesh of them; and the order is, that that

shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;
partly by him that brought them, and his family, and partly by the poor he was to invite to eat thereof; and also by the priests and Levites, who were to have their share of it; see ( Deuteronomy 12:11 Deuteronomy 12:12 Deuteronomy 12:17 Deuteronomy 12:18 )

he shall not leave any of it until the morning;
which was ordered to encourage liberality to the priests, Levites, and others, since all must be eaten up before morning: according to the Jewish canons, they might eat it no longer than midnight; by that time it was to be all consumed; and it is said ^F11, the wise men made an hedge to the law to keep men from sin.

Lévitique 7:15 In-Context

13 A ces gâteaux il ajoutera du pain levé pour son offrande, avec son sacrifice de reconnaissance et d'actions de grâces.

14 On présentera par élévation à l'Eternel une portion de chaque offrande; elle sera pour le sacrificateur qui a répandu le sang de la victime d'actions de grâces.

15 La chair du sacrifice de reconnaissance et d'actions de grâces sera mangée le jour où il est offert; on n'en laissera rien jusqu'au matin.

16 Si quelqu'un offre un sacrifice pour l'accomplissement d'un voeu ou comme offrande volontaire, la victime sera mangée le jour où il l'offrira, et ce qui en restera sera mangé le lendemain.

17 Ce qui restera de la chair de la victime sera brûlé au feu le troisième jour.
