Leviticus 7:8-18

8 The priest who offers the burnt offering may also have the skin from it.
9 Every grain offering that is baked in an oven, cooked on a griddle, or baked in a dish belongs to the priest who offers it.
10 Every grain offering, either dry or mixed with oil, belongs to the priests, and all priests will share alike.
11 "'These are the teachings about the fellowship offering a person may offer to the Lord:
12 If he brings the fellowship offering to show his thanks, he should also bring loaves of bread made without yeast that are mixed with oil, wafers made without yeast that have oil poured over them, and loaves of fine flour that are mixed with oil.
13 He must also offer loaves of bread made with yeast along with his fellowship offering, which he gives to show thanks.
14 One of each kind of offering will be for the Lord; it will be given to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offering.
15 When the fellowship offering is given to thank the Lord, the meat from it must be eaten the same day it is offered; none of it must be left until morning.
16 "'If a person brings a fellowship offering just to give a gift to God or because of a special promise to him, the sacrifice should be eaten the same day he offers it. If there is any left, it may be eaten the next day.
17 If any meat from this sacrifice is left on the third day, it must be burned up.
18 Any meat of the fellowship offering eaten on the third day will not be accepted, nor will the sacrifice count for the person who offered it. It will become unclean, and anyone who eats the meat will be guilty of sin.
