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 offer a sacrifice of well-being to the Lord, offer it in such a way that it is acceptable in your behalf.
6 It shall be eaten on the same day you offer it, or on the next day; and anything left over until the third day shall be consumed in fire.
7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it will not be acceptable.
8 All who eat it shall be subject to punishment, because they have profaned what is holy to the Lord; and any such person shall be cut off from the people.
9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
