Commentary
3 notes on this verseBurn the remainder with fire - Common, voluntary, and peace-offerings, might be eaten even on the second day; see Lev 7:16; Lev 19:5, Lev 19:6. But this being a peculiar consecration, in order to qualify a person to offer sacrifices for sin, like that great sacrifice, the paschal lamb, that typified the atonement made by Christ, none of it was to be left till the morning lest putrefaction should commence, which would be utterly improper in a sacrifice that was to make expiation for sin, and bring the soul into a state of holiness and perfection with God.
This site's exposition
take the ram of the consecration, and seethe
on Exodus 29:31-34
The word atonement occurs for the first time in Scripture at verse 33, seventeen chapters after the passover and four after the tabernacle instructions began. It arrives with the priesthood, and the priests eat the very offering by which the atonement was made, so their first meal in office is the sacrifice that put them there. Nothing may remain until the morning, which is the rule Exodus 12:10 laid down for the passover lamb.
