Contextual Overview

¹¹ The following are the regulations for the fellowship offerings presented to the Lord . ¹² If you make this offering as a thanksgiving offering to God, you shall present, together with the animal to be sacrificed, an offering of bread made without yeast: either thick loaves made of flour mixed with olive oil or thin cakes brushed with olive oil or cakes made of flour mixed with olive oil. ¹³ In addition, you shall offer loaves of bread baked with yeast. ¹⁴ You shall present one part of each kind of bread as a special contribution to the Lord ; it belongs to the priest who takes the blood of the animal and throws it against the altar. ¹⁵ The flesh of the animal must be eaten on the day it is sacrificed; none of it may be left until the next morning. ¹⁶ If you bring a fellowship offering as fulfillment of a vow or as your own freewill offering, not all of it has to be eaten on the day it is offered, but any that is left over may be eaten on the following day. ¹⁷ Any meat that still remains on the third day must be burned. ¹⁸ If any of it is eaten on the third day, God will not accept your offering. The offering will not be counted to your credit but will be considered unclean, and whoever eats it will suffer the consequences. ¹⁹ If the meat comes into contact with anything ritually unclean, it must not be eaten, but must be burned. Any of you that are ritually clean may eat the meat, ²⁰ but if any of you who are not clean eat it, you shall no longer be considered one of God's 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.
