Contextual Overview

11 And, this, is the law of the peace-offering which one may bring near unto Yahweh. 12 If, for thanksgiving, he bring it near, then shall he bring near, with the thanksgiving sacrifice perforated cakes unleavened, overflowed with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil, - and of fine flour moistened, perforated cakes overflowed with oil. 13 With perforated cakes of leavened bread, shall he bring near his oblation, with his peace-offering of thanksgiving, 14 Then shall he bring near therefrom one of each oblation, a heave-offering unto Yahweh, - to the priest who dasheth against the altar the blood of the peace-offering - to him, shall it belong. 15 But, as for the flesh of his peace-offering of thanksgiving, on the day of bringing it near, shall it be eaten, - he shall not leave thereof until morning, 16 But, if, a vow or a freewill offering, be his sacrifice of oblation, in the day he bringeth near his sacrifice, shall it be eaten, and on the morrow, then may the remainder thereof, be eaten; 17 but as for the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice, on the third day - in fire, shall it be consumed. 18 And, if any of the flesh of his peace-offering, be at all eaten, on the third day, he that brought it near shall not be accepted it shall not be reckoned to him, unclean, shall it be, - and the person who shall eat thereof, shall bear his iniquity. 19 And, the flesh that toucheth anything unclean, shall not be eaten, in fire, shall it be consumed, - but, as for the other flesh, any one who is clean, may eat flesh. 20 But as for the person who shall eat flesh from the peace-offering, which pertaineth unto Yahweh, while his uncleanness is on him, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

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.
