Leviticus 19:6
4 Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God.
5 When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.
It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.
7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.
8 Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
