Leviticus 19:8 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 19:8

Therefore [everyone] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity,
&c.] Be chargeable with sin, be pronounced guilty, and endure the punishment, which is cutting off, ( Leviticus 7:20 ) :

because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord;
the flesh of the peace offerings, by keeping it longer than the fixed time for it, when it was liable to corruption and putrefaction; for after the inwards and the fat of them were offered, as Aben Ezra says, the flesh was holy, and to be eaten as an holy thing, and within the time the law required, or otherwise it was profaned and polluted:

and that soul shall be cut off from among his people;
be deprived of his civil and religious privileges, or be punished by the hand of the civil magistrate, or else by the immediate hand of God.

Leviticus 19:8 In-Context

6 It is to 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 is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted.
8 Anyone who eats it will bear his punishment, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person must be cut off from his people.
9 "When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am the Lord your God.
