Leviticus 19:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 19:6

It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the
morrow
The meaning is, that if it could be, it was best to eat it all up the same day it was offered, but if not, the remainder was to be eaten on the morrow, but by no means to be kept any longer; this shows that that sort of peace offering is intended, which was either a vow or a voluntary offering, ( Leviticus 7:16 ) ; and the Jews gather from hence, that sacrifices were to be slain in the day, and not in the night ^F9;

and if ought remain unto the third, it shall be burnt with fire;
as it is ordered, ( Leviticus 7:16 ) ; that so the owner might have no profit by it, and therefore be under no temptation to keep it longer than the fixed time.

Leviticus 19:6 In-Context

4 `Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.

5 `And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;

6 in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,

7 and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

8 and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.
