Leviticus 7:16-18
New English Translation
16 “‘If his offering is a votive or freewill sacrifice,[a] it may be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and also the leftovers from it may be eaten on the next day,[b] 17 but the leftovers from the meat of the sacrifice must be burned up in the fire[c] on the third day. 18 If some of the meat of his peace-offering sacrifice is ever eaten on the third day it will not be accepted; it will not be accounted to the one who presented it since it is spoiled,[d] and the person who eats from it will bear his punishment for iniquity.[e]
