Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 7:17
But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
That it might neither putrefy, and thereby be exposed to contempt; nor yet be reserved either for superstitious abuse, or for the priests domestic use, which would savour of covetousness, and of distrust of Gods care for their future provisions.

But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day,…. What remained of it uneaten on the second day, and was kept till the third:
shall be burnt with fire; that it might neither corrupt, nor be put to superstitious uses, nor be of any profit in any respect; that so niggardliness and distrust of the care of Providence might be discouraged: perhaps some respect may be had in the type to the resurrection of Christ on the third day, having seen no corruption.

(17) But the remainder of the flesh.If, however, the sacrifices were very plentiful, or if through niggardliness 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.

Lev 7:17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
Ver. 17. On the third day. ] Foreshadowing the resurrection of Christ on the third day, whereby all legal ceremonies were abolished, and had no use in the Church, but by accident; as he who bnildeth a vault, letteth the centrals stand till he put in the keystone, and then pulleth them away.

Lev 7:17-18. The flesh on the third day shall be burned with fire Lest it should putrefy, and so be exposed to contempt, and to prevent their distrust of Gods providence, or indulging a covetous disposition, by reserving for domestic use what ought to be given to their friends or the poor. If eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted In this case, not only the sacrifice became worthless, but the offerer guilty of a new offence. Neither shall it be imputed unto him For an acceptable service to God, but reckoned as if it had not been offered at all.
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin; and that cannot be of faith which has not the sanction of Gods authority, expressed or implied, and is not done agreeably to his will. It is therefore not acceptable to him.
