Leviticus 7:18 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:18

And if any of the flesh of his peace offerings be eaten at
all on the third day
Any part of it, even the least:

it shall not be accepted;
as a sacrifice well pleasing to God; he will take no delight in it, or express any satisfaction therein; but, on the contrary, reject it with abhorrence:

neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it;
the Targum of Jonathan adds, for merit or righteousness; it shall not be accounted a righteous action, or the offerer receive any benefit by it:

it shall be an abomination;
to God, the flesh being kept so long, through a sordid and niggardly disposition:

and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity;
it shall not be forgiven him; he shall bear the punishment of it.

Leviticus 7:18 In-Context

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

20 anima polluta quae ederit de carnibus hostiae pacificorum quae oblata est Domino peribit de populis suis
