Rules about friendship offerings
11 These are the rules about sacrifices for friendship offerings which people may offer to the Lord. 12 If they do it to thank the Lord, they must bring these things together with the animal for the sacrifice:
flat loaves of bread that have olive oil mixed in the flour,flat biscuits that have olive oil on them,and round loaves that have olive oil mixed with the best flour.7:12A biscuit is a small, hard cake.
None of these may have any yeast in them. 13 For their offering, they must also bring loaves of bread that have yeast in the flour. 14 They must offer one of each kind of these grain offerings to the Lord. These belong to the priest who throws the blood on the side of the altar for the friendship offering. 15 The people must eat the meat of the animal for the friendship offering on the same day that they offer it. They must not keep any of the meat until the next day.
16 It is different if people bring a friendship offering because of a promise that they have made to the Lord. Or if they do it because they choose to make a gift to the Lord. These people may eat some of the meat on the day that they offer the sacrifice. They may also eat the meat that remains on the next day. 17 But if any meat still remains on the third day, they must burn it completely. 18 If people eat any of the meat on the third day, the Lord will not accept their offering. The meat has become unclean, so God will not bless them for their offering. Instead, he will punish anyone who eats it on the third day.
19 If any of the meat touches something that is unclean, nobody may eat it. Instead, they must burn it completely. But anyone who is clean may eat the meat that remains. 20 Anyone who has not made themselves clean must not eat the meat of the sacrifice for a friendship offering. If they do that, they will no longer belong with Israel's people. 21 You become unclean if you touch anything that is unclean from a human, or from an animal or any other disgusting thing. If that happens, you must not eat the meat of the sacrifice for the friendship offering which belongs to the Lord. Anyone who eats it will no longer belong with Israel's people.” ’
