“On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the Lord.”
It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am the Lord. The same-day consumption requirement for the thank offering — the most urgent eating window in the fellowship offering system (Leviticus 7:15) — is repeated with the I am the Lord formula. The thank offering that celebrates God's specific deliverance must be consumed entirely on the day of the deliverance's celebration: the joy is not rationed over multiple days but expressed completely in the offering day's meal.
