Halakhah zu Wajikra 7:16
וְאִם־נֶ֣דֶר ׀ א֣וֹ נְדָבָ֗ה זֶ֚בַח קָרְבָּנ֔וֹ בְּי֛וֹם הַקְרִיב֥וֹ אֶת־זִבְח֖וֹ יֵאָכֵ֑ל וּמִֽמָּחֳרָ֔ת וְהַנּוֹתָ֥ר מִמֶּ֖נּוּ יֵאָכֵֽל׃
Wenn aber das Opfer für ein Gelübde oder als eine freiwillige Gabe ist, so soll es gegessen werden am Tage, wo man das Opfer darbringt; und auch am andern Tage darf, was davon übrig bleibt, gegessen werden.
The Sabbath Epistle
Again I saw our sages saying that the shelamim sacrifices were eaten “for two days and one night” (Mishna, Zevahim 5:7). Now if the day began with dawn, it is not possible to have a third day unless there were two nights.3 The limitation to eating the shelamim sacrifice for two days and one night is derived from the verse “What remains from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt in fire” (Leviticus 7:17). If a day begins with dawn and extends through the night, then it should be permissible to eat the sacrifice through the second night until the morning of the third day. Obviously, the Rabbis were of the opinion that “the third day” began with the evening following the second day.
