Leviticus 7:17

17 quicquid autem tertius invenerit dies ignis absumet

Leviticus 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:17

But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the
third day
What remained of it uneaten on the second day, and was kept till the third:

shall be burnt with fire;
that it might neither corrupt, nor be put to superstitious uses, nor be of any profit in any respect; that so niggardliness and distrust of the care of Providence might be discouraged: perhaps some respect may be had in the type to the resurrection of Christ on the third day, having seen no corruption.

Leviticus 7:17 In-Context

15 cuius carnes eadem comedentur die nec remanebit ex eis quicquam usque mane

16 si voto vel sponte quisquam obtulerit hostiam eadem similiter edetur die sed et si quid in crastinum remanserit vesci licitum est

17 quicquid autem tertius invenerit dies ignis absumet

18 si quis de carnibus victimae pacificorum die tertio comederit irrita fiet oblatio nec proderit offerenti quin potius quaecumque anima tali se edulio contaminarit praevaricationis rea erit

19 caro quae aliquid tetigerit inmundum non comedetur sed conburetur igni qui fuerit mundus vescetur ea
