“But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:”
If, however, their offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day. The vow offering and the freewill offering — the two other types of fellowship offering — have a two-day eating window rather than the thank offering's one-day restriction. The longer window reflects the different character of these offerings: the vow offering fulfills a commitment made, and the freewill offering is a spontaneous expression of generosity, both less urgent than the specific response of thanksgiving. The graduated eating windows communicate the graduated urgency of the different types of fellowship offerings.
