The meat of the sacrifice
This phrase refers to the physical portion of the offering, specifically the flesh of the animal that was sacrificed. In Hebrew, the word for "meat" is "בָּשָׂר" (basar), which can also mean "flesh." The peace offering, or "שְׁלָמִים" (shelamim), is a type of sacrifice that symbolizes fellowship and communion with God. It is a voluntary act of worship, expressing thanksgiving and fulfillment of vows. The peace offering is unique in that it is shared among the altar, the priests, and the offerer, symbolizing a communal meal with God.

of his peace offerings
The term "peace offerings" comes from the Hebrew "שְׁלָמִים" (shelamim), which is derived from "שָׁלוֹם" (shalom), meaning peace, wholeness, or completeness. This offering is a celebration of the covenant relationship between God and His people, emphasizing reconciliation and harmony. Historically, peace offerings were a way for the Israelites to express gratitude and maintain a right relationship with God, acknowledging His provision and blessings.

must be eaten on the day he offers it
This requirement underscores the immediacy and urgency of the act of worship. The Hebrew verb "אָכַל" (akal) means "to eat," and it signifies the consumption of the sacrifice as an integral part of the ritual. Eating the sacrifice on the same day it is offered highlights the importance of participating in the sacred meal while it is fresh, symbolizing the immediacy of God's presence and the need for prompt obedience and gratitude.

he must not leave any of it until morning
This command emphasizes the completeness and finality of the offering. The Hebrew word "לֹא" (lo) means "not," and "יַעֲזֹב" (ya'azov) means "to leave" or "to abandon." By not leaving any of the sacrifice until morning, the offerer demonstrates a full commitment to the act of worship and ensures that the offering remains pure and undefiled. This practice also reflects the transient nature of life and the need to rely on God's daily provision, as seen in the provision of manna in the wilderness.

(15) And the flesh of the sacrifice.--That is, after the priest had the breast and the shoulder, the share of the victim which belongs to the offerer, together with the remaining loaves, he with his family and poor guests (see Deuteronomy 12:11-18) are to eat up before the morning, which at the time of the second Temple was limited to midnight. This limitation of time was designed both to encourage liberality to the poor, and to impress upon those who partook of it that it was a sacrificial and sacred feast, so as to prevent its being turned into unseemly conviviality.
