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 "The meat from your fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered. Never leave any of it until morning.

16 "If your sacrificial offering is something you vowed or a freewill offering, it must be eaten the day you offer it or the next day.

17 However, on the third day any meat left over from the sacrifice must be burned.

18 You will not be accepted if any meat from the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day. You will not receive credit for it. It is repulsive to God. The person who eats any of it must be punished.

19 "Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten. It must be burned. Anyone who is clean may eat from these sacrifices.
