Leviticus 7:17

17 soothly [the] fire shall waste whatever thing the third day shall find.

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 whose flesh shall be eaten in the same day (whose flesh shall be eaten on the same day), neither anything of those shall dwell till the morrowtide.

16 If a man offereth a sacrifice by a vow, either by free will, it shall be eaten in like manner in the same day; but also if anything dwelleth into the morrow, it is leaveful to eat it; (If someone offereth an offering to fulfill a vow, or by free will, it shall be eaten in like manner on the same day; and if anything dwelleth into the next day, it is lawful to eat it;)

17 soothly [the] fire shall waste whatever thing the third day shall find.

18 If any man eateth in the third day of the flesh of [the] sacrifice of peaceable things (If anyone eateth the flesh of the peace offering on the third day), his offering shall be made void, neither it shall profit to the offerer; but rather, whatever soul defouleth himself with such meat, he shall be guilty of breaking of the law.

19 [The] Flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt by fire (but it shall be burned in the fire); (then) he that is clean, shall eat it.
