Leviticus 7:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 From this the individual shall offer one bread of each type of offering as a contribution[a] to the Lord; this shall belong to the priest who splashes the blood of the communion offering.
15 [b](A)The meat of the thanksgiving communion sacrifice shall be eaten on the day it is offered; none of it may be kept till the next morning.(B) 16 However, if the sacrifice offered is a votive or a voluntary offering,[c] it shall be eaten on the day the sacrifice is offered, and on the next day what is left over may be eaten.(C)

- 7:14 Contribution: Hebrew terumah. This does not indicate a particular ritual action. The word simply means “gift, something set apart.”
- 7:15–18 Sacrifices must be properly consumed for them to be effective (cf. also 19:5–8; 22:30). Similar rules obtain for the Passover offering (Ex 12:10; Nm 9:12; cf. Ex 23:18; 34:25; Dt 16:4) and the ordination offering (Ex 29:34; Lv 8:32).
- 7:16 Votive or a voluntary offering: these are not specific types of offerings but rather motivations for bringing the communion sacrifice (cf. 22:18). A votive offering is brought as the consequence of a promise (vow) made to God. A voluntary offering is a spontaneous gift to God independent of a prior promise. See note on 27:2–13.

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.(A)
16 “‘If, however, their offering is the result of a vow(B) or is a freewill offering,(C) the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day.(D)
