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.

Leviticus 19:7 In-Context

5 'And if you offer a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, you shall offer it of your own free will.

6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.

7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted.

8 Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed offering of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from his people.

9 'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
