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 When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.

6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.

7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.

8 Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.

9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
