Leviticus 19:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 19:7

And if it be eaten at all on the third day
Or "in eating be eaten" ^F11 any of it be eaten, the least bit of it:

it [is] abominable;
it is as any common thing, as if it was no sacrifice; yea, as if it was corrupt and putrefied flesh; nay, as what is abominable to God: and therefore it follows,

it shall not be accepted;
of the Lord, but rejected, his will not being attended to.
