Context of Leviticus 7:13

11These rules are for friendship offerings to the Lord. 12If a man wants to thank God, he must give an animal and flat loaves of bread. He must mix the flour for the bread with oil. He must not mix the flour with yeast. He must also give other loaves of bread to God. He must make these with flour, oil and yeast. 14A man must offer one of each kind of loaf to the Lord. These belong to the priest who throws the blood on the altar. 15The person must not keep the meat from the animal until the next day. He must eat it on the day that he offers it.
