Leviticus 19
1. A repetition of various laws














If any is eaten
The phrase "if any is eaten" refers to the consumption of sacrificial meat. In the Hebrew context, the word for "eaten" is "אָכַל" (akal), which implies not just the act of eating but also the idea of consuming or devouring. This reflects the sacredness of the sacrificial offerings, which were meant to be consumed in a manner that honored God. The act of eating sacrificial meat was not merely a physical act but a spiritual one, symbolizing communion with God. Historically, this underscores the importance of following divine instructions precisely, as the Israelites were called to be a holy people set apart for God.

on the third day
The specification of "on the third day" is significant in the Hebrew tradition. The number three often symbolizes completeness or divine perfection in the Bible. However, in this context, it marks the boundary of time within which the sacrificial meat remains acceptable. The third day represents a point at which the offering transitions from being holy to profane if consumed. This time limit emphasizes the immediacy and urgency of obedience to God's commands, reflecting the need for purity and the avoidance of corruption in worship practices.

it is tainted
The term "tainted" in Hebrew is "פִּגּוּל" (pigul), which means something that has become unclean or defiled. This word conveys the idea of moral and ritual impurity. In the context of Leviticus, the sacrificial system was designed to maintain the holiness of the people and their relationship with God. Eating the meat beyond the prescribed time rendered it impure, symbolizing a breach in the covenant relationship. This serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining spiritual integrity and the consequences of neglecting divine ordinances.

and will not be accepted
The phrase "will not be accepted" highlights the rejection of the offering by God if the command is not followed. The Hebrew word for "accepted" is "רָצוֹן" (ratson), which means favor or approval. In the sacrificial system, acceptance by God was paramount, as it signified His pleasure and the effectiveness of the atonement. This phrase underscores the principle that obedience to God's commands is essential for maintaining His favor. It serves as a powerful reminder that God desires not just ritual compliance but heartfelt obedience and reverence.

(7) If it be eaten at all on the third day.--See Leviticus 7:18.
