Leviticus 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.

Leviticus 7:15 In-Context

13 Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast.
14 They are to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the LORD; it belongs to the priest who splashes the blood of the fellowship offering against the altar.
15 The meat of their fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; they must leave none of it till morning.
16 “ ‘If, however, their offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day.
17 Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up.
