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 shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 If it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted:
8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh: and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest.
10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Yahweh your God.
