The regulations for the fellowship offering

 Leviticus 7:11-38

These are the regulations for the fellowship offering anyone may present to the Lord:

If they offer it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering they are to offer thick loaves made without yeast and with olive oil mixed in, thin loaves made without yeast and brushed with oil, and thick loaves of the finest flour well-kneaded and with oil mixed in. Along with their fellowship offering of thanksgiving, they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast.

The meat of their fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; they must leave none of it till morning.

If, however, their offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day they offer it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day. Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up.

Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats. 

And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal. Anyone who eats blood must be cut off from their people.

This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 

You must not eat the fat: this 'choice' part of the animal was offered to God.

You must not eat the blood: The reason is given in 17:10-14. For the life of a creature is in the blood...

 平安祭對祭司的恩典：

1)舉祭. 2)搖祭：祭物向前再回來，去：獻給神回來是神給的。

油：全燒掉  腿：給獻祭祭司，胸：給全部祭司的

平安祭：有分享的含義。既然不是我能力達成的，是神請大家的，不是顯出我有多麼康凱。既然要大方請就不要怕人家吃，請大家盡量吃，不要留下來，所以不要留過兩天。

Why?

Fellowship offering is an expression of thankfulness to the Lord. So the offering may mix with oil, along with fellowship offering of thanksgiven, they are to present an offering with thick loaves of bread made with yeast. This is the only case that may mix with yeast for the joyful offering and expresses the heart of God's people.

Fat belongs to the Lord, so eat the fat will be cut off. 

The blood is the life of the creatures so it is forbidden to eat blood.

The meat of the sacrifice could not eat on the third day, it is bacterial in the meal.

How?

God's regulations are good for his people. Not only for ceremonial clean but also for human health.
