Leviticus 7:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:20

But the soul that eateth [of] the flesh of the sacrifice
of the peace offerings, that [pertain] unto the Lord
That are offered up to him, and so are holy, and therefore not to be eaten by unholy persons, or by any

having his uncleanness upon him;
a profluvious person that has an issue running out of him, a gonorrhoea; see ( Leviticus 15:2 )

even that soul shall be cut off from his people;
be disfranchised as an Israelite, be debarred the privileges of the sanctuary, or be cut off by death before the usual time and term of man's life; so those that eat and drink unworthily in the supper of our Lord, where his flesh is eaten and his blood drank, eat and drink damnation to themselves, ( 1 Corinthians 11:29 ) .

22 ADONAI said to Moshe,
