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 communal sacrifice of well-being to the LORD, offer it so that it will be accepted on your account.

6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice or the following day; whatever is left over on the third day must be burned with fire.

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

8 Anyone who eats it will be liable to punishment, because they defiled what is holy to the LORD. That person will be cut off from their people.

9 When you harvest your land's produce, you must not harvest all the way to the edge of your field; and don't gather up every remaining bit of your harvest.
