Leviticus 19:6-8
New English Translation
6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and on the following day,[a] but what is left over until the third day must be burned up.[b] 7 If, however, it is eaten[c] on the third day, it is spoiled;[d] it will not be accepted, 8 and the one who eats it will bear his punishment for iniquity[e] because he has profaned[f] what is holy to the Lord.[g] That person will be cut off from his people.[h]
