The Peace Offering

¹⁶If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.¹⁷But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.¹⁸If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted.

This command emphasizes the importance of promptly consuming what is dedicated to God, ensuring reverence and respect for the offering. It also symbolizes the need for immediate gratitude and devotion to the Lord, without delay or negligence. By following this directive, the Israelites demonstrate their obedience and faithfulness in honoring God's provisions and instructions. This verse underscores the significance of honoring God with our best and not allowing anything dedicated to Him to go to waste.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And if any of the flesh of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day,.... Any part of it, even the least: it shall not be accepted; as a sacrifice well pleasing to God; he will take no delight in it, or express any satisfaction therein; but, on the contrary, reject it with abhorrence: neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it; the Targum of Jonathan adds, for merit or righteousness; it shall not be accounted a righteous action, or the offerer receive any benefit by it: it shall be an abomination; to God, the flesh being kept so long, through a sordid and niggardly disposition: and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity; it shall not be forgiven him; he shall bear the punishment of it.
