Leviticus 7:13-23

13 In addition to these rings of bread, you must bring bread with yeast along with your fellowship offering of thanksgiving.
14 From every offering you must bring one loaf to the LORD as a [special] contribution. It will belong to the priest who throws the blood of the fellowship offering.
15 "The meat from your fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered. Never leave any of it until morning.
16 "If your sacrificial offering is something you vowed or a freewill offering, it must be eaten the day you offer it or the next day.
17 However, on the third day any meat left over from the sacrifice must be burned.
18 You will not be accepted if any meat from the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day. You will not receive credit for it. It is repulsive to God. The person who eats any of it must be punished.
19 "Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten. It must be burned. Anyone who is clean may eat from these sacrifices.
20 Those who eat meat from the LORD's fellowship offering while unclean must be excluded from the people.
21 Those who touch anything unclean, human or animal, or any other disgusting uncleanness and still eat the LORD's fellowship offering must be excluded from the people."
22 The LORD spoke to Moses,
23 "Tell the Israelites: Never eat any fat from bulls, sheep, or goats.
