Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal marker beyom {בְּי֧וֹם | bĕ-yōm} ‘on the day’, placing the instruction in time, followed by the construct phrase zivchachem {זִבְחֲכֶ֛ם | ziv-ḥa-chem} ‘your sacrifice’ to set the ritual context.
In context — Leviticus 19:6
On the day of your sacrifice , and on the following day it shall be eaten; but what remains until the third day must be burned in the fire .
