Hence it appears that the meal consisted not of the paschal lambs alone, but of the meat of the thank offerings - for part of the flesh fell to the portion of the offerer, who, being in this instance, the king and the princes, were by them made over to the people, who were recommended to eat them the day they were offered, though not absolutely forbidden to do so on the next (Lev 7:15-18).
