והנותר בבשר ובלחם הבי"ת בשתי המלות תשמש כמו מ"ם והנותר מן הבשר ומן הלחם וכן ביום השמיני והלאה (יחזקאל מג כז) בשנה ההיא שמונה עשרה שנה (שופטים י ח) ולא פירש הכתוב "והנותר עד הבקר" כי כבר למדו משפט הקרבנות וידעו ששלמים הללו נדונין כחמורין שבהן שנאכלין ליום ולילה או שקצר הכתוב כאן בעבור שהוא מפורש בצואה (שמות כט לד) ואם יותר מבשר המלואים ומן הלחם עד הבקר: AND THAT WHICH REMAINETH ‘BABASAR UBALACHEM.’ The letter beth in these two words [which means literally: “‘in’ the meat and ‘in’ the bread”] serves here as a mem the meaning thus being: “and that which remains ‘of’ the meat and ‘of’ the bread. ”220See Ramban above, 7:36. Similarly: ‘bayom ha’shemini’ (‘on’ the eighth day), and forward221Ezekiel 43:27. [means miyom ha’shemini — “from” the eighth day on]; and they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel ‘bashanah hahi (‘in’ that year) eighteen years222Judges 10:8. [means mishanah hahi — from’ that year].
Scripture does not state: and that which remained “till the morning,” for they had already learned the law of the offerings and knew that these peace-offerings were to be regarded like the stricter offerings which are eaten for a day and a night,223This is unlike the ordinary peace-offering, which may be eaten for two days and the intervening night. See Note 55 above. [since they were accompanied by breads like a thanks-offering]. Or it may be that Scripture speaks briefly here because it is explained in the section containing the command of these offerings, And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, [then thou shalt burn the remainder].224Exodus 29:34.
