A freewill offering can be eaten for two days, and burned the third day. Meat that touches anything unclean is burned. Only a clean person eats peace offerings. Fat or blood is not eaten. One presents the peace offering himself, the fat is burned, the breast goes to the priests, and the right thigh to the priest offering the sacrifice.
Another burnt-offering is that of Jethro, Moses' father-in-law (Exodus 18:12). The Nevi'im section of the Hebrew Bible, particularly passages in the Book of Judges, presents the practice of the burnt offering.

The Book of Leviticus (/ l ɪ ˈ v ɪ t ɪ k ə s /, from Ancient Greek: Λευιτικόν, Leuïtikón; Biblical Hebrew: וַיִּקְרָא , Wayyīqrāʾ, 'And He called'; Latin: Liber Leviticus) is the third book of the Torah (the Pentateuch) and of the Old Testament, also known as the Third Book of Moses. [1]
The term specifically refers to the slaughter of an animal to God followed by a feast or a meal. This is distinguished from the burnt offering, shechita, guilt offering, sin offering, korban sacrifice, and the gift offering (Hebrew minchah). A common subcategory of this is the peace offering (Hebrew: Zevaḥ shelamim).
