But any meat of the sacrifice
This phrase refers to the portion of the peace offerings that were not consumed by the priests or the offerer. The Hebrew word for "sacrifice" is "זֶבַח" (zevach), which often denotes a communal meal shared in the presence of God. The peace offering was a voluntary act of worship, expressing thanksgiving and fellowship. It is significant that the meat of the sacrifice was considered holy, set apart for a specific purpose, and not to be treated as ordinary food.

remaining until the third day
The specification of "the third day" underscores the importance of timeliness and obedience in worship. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the third day often symbolized completeness or divine intervention. The restriction against eating the meat after this period highlights the need for purity and the avoidance of decay, which could symbolize corruption or sin. This commandment ensured that the offerings remained a pure and acceptable gift to God.

must be burned up
The directive to burn the leftover meat signifies the removal of what is no longer suitable for consumption or offering. The Hebrew word "שָׂרַף" (saraph) means to burn or consume with fire, often used in the context of purification or judgment. This act of burning served as a physical reminder of the holiness required in worship and the seriousness of maintaining God's standards. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of fire as a purifying agent, symbolizing God's presence and holiness. The burning of the meat was a final act of dedication, ensuring that nothing unclean or defiled remained from the offering.

(17) But the remainder of the flesh.--If, however, the sacrifices were very plentiful, or if through stinginess of the owners a sufficient number of poor guests were not invited, so that the victim could not be eaten up within the time specified, all that remained on the third day was to be burnt.
