Leviticus 7:18
Leviticus 7:18 in Multiple Translations
If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.
If you eat any of the meat from your peace offering on the third day, it won't be accepted. You won't receive credit for offering it. In fact it will be treated as something disgusting, and anyone who eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt.
For if any of the flesh of his peace offrings be eaten in the third day, he shall not be accepted that offereth it, neither shall it be reckoned vnto him, but shalbe an abomination: therefore ye person that eateth of it shall beare his iniquitie.
and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be really eaten on the third day, it is not pleasing; for him who is bringing it near it is not reckoned; it is an abominable thing, and the person who is eating of it his iniquity doth bear.
If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, and it shall not be credited to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings shall be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it; it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
If any man eat of the flesh of the victim of peace offerings on the third day, the oblation shall be of no effect, neither shall it profit the offerer: yea rather whatsoever soul shall defile itself with such meat, shall be guilty of transgression.
If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty to Yahweh.

Context — The Peace Offering
16If, however, the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, but the remainder may be eaten on the next day.
17But any meat of the sacrifice remaining until the third day must be burned up.
18If any of the meat from his peace offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presented it; it shall be an abomination, and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
19Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it. 20But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.Cross References

Leviticus 7:18 Summary
This verse teaches us that when the Israelites made a peace offering to God, they had to eat the meat within two days or it would be considered unacceptable and even disgusting to God. If someone did eat the meat on the third day, they would be held responsible for their actions and would have to bear the consequences, as a reminder that our actions have consequences, just as seen in Galatians 6:7-8. This shows us that God wants us to be careful and respectful in our worship and obedience to Him, and to trust in His goodness and wisdom, as expressed in Psalm 37:3-7.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:18
It shall not be imputed unto him for an acceptable service to God.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:18
Leviticus 7:18 And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.Ver. 18. It shall be an abomination.] Kept beyond the time; and so uneatable, unsacrificeable, profane, stinking.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:18
(18) And if any of the flesh . . . be eaten.—The owner of the sacrifice was responsible for the due observance of this injunction. If, through his neglect, any one ate of the sacrifice after the limited time here specified, the efficacy of the sacrifice was disannulled, and the offerer had to bring another votive offering.It shall be an abomination.—That is, the flesh left so long in the Eastern climate begins to putrefy, and becomes loathsome and offensive on the third day; so that which is holy becomes desecrated. And the soul that eateth of it.—Hence he who ate it after the prescribed time was regarded as eating carrion, he bore his guilt, i.e., incurred the penalty of excision.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:18
18. it shall be an abomination] Heb. piggϋl, a word which occurs here and in Leviticus 19:7 of the flesh of the Peace-Offering which is eaten on the third day, and elsewhere only in Isaiah 65:4, broth of abominable things (Heb. piggϋlim); Ezekiel 4:14, abominable flesh (Heb. flesh of Piggϋl). In both these passages food of an unclean character, perhaps mixed with blood, is referred to (cp. Rel. Sem.2, 343, note 3). The word is a common technical term in the Mishna. It is unfortunate that both here and in Leviticus 7:21 ‘abomination,’ which is generally the translation of tτ‘ηbhah, should be employed as the English equivalent of two other Heb. words, but it is difficult to find a good English word for piggϋl.
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 7:18
It was proper that the sacrificial meat should not be polluted by any approach to putrefaction.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 7:18
18. Neither shall it be imputed unto him — It shall not be reckoned or accounted as a worthy act, as was Abraham’s faith. Genesis 15:6.
