Levítico 17:16 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 17:16

But if he wash [them] not
Neither wash his clothes: nor bathe his flesh; if he is negligent, and does not take care to make use of these ablutions: then he shall bear his iniquity;
his guilt shall remain on him, and he shall suffer the punishment the law exposes him to, either by the hand of God, or the civil magistrate, which is due to persons that enter into the sanctuary in their uncleanness, or eat of holy things. For not washing his body the punishment was cutting off, and for not washing his garments, beating, as Jarchi says.

Levítico 17:16 In-Context

14 pues la vida de toda criatura está en su sangre. Por eso les he dicho: No coman la sangre de ninguna criatura, porque la vida de toda criatura está en la sangre; cualquiera que la coma será eliminado.

15 »Todo nativo o extranjero que coma la carne de un animal que las fieras hayan matado o despedazado, deberá lavarse la ropa y bañarse con agua, y quedará impuro hasta el anochecer; después de eso quedará puro.

16 Pero si no se lava la ropa ni se baña, sufrirá las consecuencias de su pecado».
