Leviticus 7

The final chapter on the offerings provides complex rules concerning the Guilt and Peace Offerings, particularly focusing on how the meat should be handled. It includes rules differentiating a thanksgiving peace offering (which must be eaten the same day) from a vow offering (which can be eaten over two days). The chapter strictly prohibits eating any fat or blood, because the blood contains the life of the animal and is reserved exclusively for making atonement on the altar.
