Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.
