Leviticus 7:10-20

10 But every grain offering which is mixed with olive oil or is dry will belong to all the sons of Aharon equally.
11 "'This is the law for sacrificing peace offerings offered to ADONAI:
12 If a person offers it for giving thanks, he is to offer it with the thanksgiving sacrifice of unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, matzah spread with olive oil, and cakes made of fine flour mixed with olive oil and fried.
13 With cakes of leavened bread he is to present his offering together with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for giving thanks.
14 From each kind of offering he is to present one as a gift for ADONAI; it will belong to the cohen who splashes the blood of the peace offerings against the altar.
15 The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for giving thanks is to be eaten on the day of his offering; he is not to leave any of it until morning.
16 But if the sacrifice connected with his offering is for a vow or is a voluntary offering, then, while it is to be eaten on the day he offers his sacrifice, what remains of it may be eaten the next day.
17 However, what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day is to be burned up completely.
18 If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, the sacrifice will neither be accepted nor credited to the person offering it; rather, it will have become a disgusting thing, and whoever eats it will bear the consequences of his wrongdoing.
19 Meat which touches something unclean is not to be eaten but burned up completely. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it;
20 but a person in a state of uncleanness who eats any meat from the sacrifice of peace offerings made to ADONAI will be cut off from his people.
