The meat referred to here is from the peace offerings, which were voluntary sacrifices expressing thanksgiving or fulfilling a vow. These offerings were unique because the offerer, the priest, and God all shared in the meal, symbolizing fellowship. The meat's consumption was a sacred act, emphasizing the holiness required in approaching God.<p><b>remaining until the third day</b><br>The specification of the third day highlights the importance of promptness and purity in the sacrificial system. In ancient Near Eastern culture, food preservation was limited, and meat could spoil quickly. This rule ensured that the offerings remained fresh and untainted, reflecting the purity and holiness required in worship. The third day also has symbolic significance in Scripture, often associated with divine intervention and completion, as seen in the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day.<p><b>must be burned up</b><br>Burning the leftover meat was a way to prevent defilement and maintain the sanctity of the offering. This act of burning symbolizes purification and the complete dedication of the offering to God. It also served as a practical measure to prevent decay and corruption, which could lead to ritual impurity. The burning of the remains can be seen as a type of Christ's complete and final sacrifice, which leaves nothing to be added or wasted, fulfilling the law and the prophets.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>- The prophet and leader of the Israelites who received the laws from God, including the instructions in Leviticus.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>- The people to whom the laws in Leviticus were given, as they journeyed through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>- The portable sanctuary where the Israelites worshiped God and where sacrifices were offered.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a></b><br>- The descendants of Aaron who were responsible for performing the sacrifices and maintaining the rituals as prescribed in the law.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/sacrificial_system.htm">Sacrificial System</a></b><br>- The system of offerings and sacrifices instituted by God for the Israelites, which included various types of offerings such as burnt offerings, peace offerings, and sin offerings.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The instruction to burn leftover meat emphasizes the importance of obeying God's commands fully and not taking His instructions lightly.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_purity.htm">Holiness and Purity</a></b><br>The requirement to burn leftover meat reflects God's call for holiness and purity among His people, as anything left over could become unclean.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/temporal_nature_of_sacrifices.htm">Temporal Nature of Sacrifices</a></b><br>The limitation on the consumption of sacrificial meat highlights the temporary nature of the Old Testament sacrifices, pointing to the need for a perfect and eternal sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_and_sufficiency.htm">God's Provision and Sufficiency</a></b><br>The command teaches reliance on God's provision, trusting that He provides what is needed for each day without the need to hoard or save beyond what He has instructed.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_7.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 7</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/are_there_records_of_thanksgiving_sacrifices.htm">Psalm 116:17 references sacrifices of thanksgiving--are there archaeological or historical records that support or challenge this practice in the psalmist's era?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_isn't_jephthah's_act_condemned.htm">Judges 11:34-39: If Jephthah's daughter was actually sacrificed, why is there no explicit condemnation of this act elsewhere in Scripture?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_jer._7_22-23_align_with_leviticus.htm">Jeremiah 7:22-23: How does God denying He commanded sacrifices align with earlier laws in Leviticus that clearly mandate offerings?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/follow_old_testament_dietary_laws.htm">Should we obey Old Testament dietary laws?
