Leviticus 19:5-8
New English Translation
Eating the Peace Offering
5 “‘When you sacrifice a peace-offering sacrifice to the Lord, you must sacrifice it so that it is accepted for you.[a] 6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and on the following day,[b] but what is left over until the third day must be burned up.[c] 7 If, however, it is eaten[d] on the third day, it is spoiled;[e] it will not be accepted, 8 and the one who eats it will bear his punishment for iniquity[f] because he has profaned[g] what is holy to the Lord.[h] That person will be cut off from his people.[i]

Christian Standard Bible
5 “When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 6 It is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned.(A) 7 If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted.(B) 8 Anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people.(C)
