“It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.”
It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day must be burned up. The same-day and next-day eating window for the fellowship offering of the Holiness Code matches the regulation of Leviticus 7:16. The eating window for the vow and freewill offering within the Holiness Code communicates the integration of the offering regulations into the broader holiness framework: the proper handling of sacred things is part of the holiness the community embodies.
