Leviticus 19:5 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Leviticus 19:5

3 ^a‘Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and ^bkeep My Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

4 ^a‘Do not turn to idols, ^bnor make for yourselves molded gods: I am the Lord your God.

5 ‘And ^aif you offer a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, you shall offer it of your own free will.

6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.

7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted.

8 Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed offering of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from his people.

9 ^a‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

11 ^a‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, ^bnor lie to one another.

12 And you shall not ^aswear by My name falsely, ^bnor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

Leviticus 19:5-8

if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will—Those which included thank offerings, or offerings made for vows, were always freewill offerings. Except the portions which, being waved and heaved, became the property of the priests (see Lev. 3:1-17), the rest of the victim was eaten by the offerer and his friend, under the following regulations, however, that, if thank offerings, they were to be eaten on the day of their presentation; and if a freewill offering, although it might be eaten on the second day, yet if any remained of it till the third day, it was to be burnt, or deep criminality was incurred by the person who then ventured to partake of it. The reason of this strict prohibition seems to have been to prevent any mysterious virtue being superstitiously attached to meat offered on the altar.
