Lev 7:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15-18 : The meat of the peace-offering had special rules. It had to be eaten quickly. If it was a thanksgiving offering, it had to be eaten the same day. For a vow or voluntary offering, it could be eaten for two days, but anything left over after that was to be burned ( v. 16-17 ). Eating it after the allowed time made the offering unacceptable, and the person would be guilty ( v. 18 ). This rule helped keep the sacrifice pure and taught people to joyfully use what God provided, not hold back or be selfish. It also points forward to Christ, whose body did not see decay (Psalm 16:10 ), and reminds us to trust God’s grace each day (Hebrews 3:13-14 ).

‏ Leviticus 7:15

v. 15-18: The meat of the peace-offering had special rules. It had to be eaten quickly. If it was a thanksgiving offering, it had to be eaten the same day. For a vow or voluntary offering, it could be eaten for two days, but anything left over after that was to be burned (v. 16-17 ^a). Eating it after the allowed time made the offering unacceptable, and the person would be guilty (v. 18 ^b). This rule helped keep the sacrifice pure and taught people to joyfully use what God provided, not hold back or be selfish. It also points forward to Christ, whose body did not see decay (Psalm 16:10 ^c), and reminds us to trust God’s grace each day (Hebrews 3:13-14 ^d).
