Leviticus 23:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:29

For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in
that same day
That is, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem explain it, which can fast and does not fast; for a sick person, and a child under nine years of age, were not obliged to fast on this day {p}:

he shall be cut off from among his people;
by an untimely death, by the hand of God; the Targum of Jonathan says, by the pestilence.

Leviticus 23:29 In-Context

27 The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

28 And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.

29 For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.

30 And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.

31 You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.
