Contextual Overview

¹¹ (iii) "‘This is the law for sacrificing peace offerings offered to Adonai : ¹² If a person offers it for giving thanks, he is to offer it with the thanksgiving sacrifice of unleavened cakes mixed with olive oil, matzah spread with olive oil, and cakes made of fine flour mixed with olive oil and fried. ¹³ With cakes of leavened bread he is to present his offering together with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for giving thanks. ¹⁴ From each kind of offering he is to present one as a gift for Adonai ; it will belong to the cohen who splashes the blood of the peace offerings against the altar. ¹⁵ The meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for giving thanks is to be eaten on the day of his offering; he is not to leave any of it until morning. ¹⁶ But if the sacrifice connected with his offering is for a vow or is a voluntary offering, then, while it is to be eaten on the day he offers his sacrifice, what remains of it may be eaten the next day. ¹⁷ However, what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day is to be burned up completely. ¹⁸ If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, the sacrifice will neither be accepted nor credited to the person offering it; rather, it will have become a disgusting thing, and whoever eats it will bear the consequences of his wrongdoing. ¹⁹ Meat which touches something unclean is not to be eaten but burned up completely. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it; ²⁰ but a person in a state of uncleanness who eats any meat from the sacrifice of peace offerings made to Adonai will be cut off from his people.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

ye shall eat: The prohibition of the fat or suet, which was restricted to animals offered in sacrifice, taught reverence to the altar and ordinances of God; but that of blood, which was extended to all land animals, had especial respect to the atoning blood of the sacrifice, and of the great antitype which the sacrifice prefigured. Leviticus 3:17, Leviticus 17:10-14, Genesis 9:4, 1 Samuel 14:33, 1 Samuel 14:34, Ezekiel 33:25, John 6:53, Acts 15:20, Acts 15:29, Ephesians 1:7, 1 Timothy 4:4

Reciprocal: Leviticus 9:21 - the breasts Leviticus 17:13 - which hunteth Leviticus 19:26 - with the blood Deuteronomy 12:16 - General Deuteronomy 15:23 - General 1 Samuel 14:32 - did eat

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood,.... Of any of the above creatures, or any other, even of any clean creature, and much less of an unclean one:

[whether it be] of fowl or of beast; of all sorts and kinds. Jarchi thinks, the words being thus expressed, the blood of fishes and locusts is excepted, and so lawful to eat:

in any of your dwellings; this shows that this law is not to be restrained to creatures slain in sacrifice in the tabernacle, and to the blood of them, but to be understood of all such as were slain in their own houses for food, and the blood of them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

No manner of blood - See Leviticus 17:10-15.
