Leviticus 23:30 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:30

And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in that same
day
Any sort of work whatever; for, as before observed, it was to be kept as strictly as the weekly sabbath:

the same soul will I destroy from among his people;
with the pestilence, as the above Targum; it seems to be but another phrase for cutting them off, and to signify the same thing.

Leviticus 23:30 In-Context

28 ye shall not do any work in the time of this day, for it is the day of cleansing, that your Lord God be merciful to you. (ye shall not do any work on this day, for it is the Day of Cleansing, that is, the Day of Atonement, so that the Lord your God shall be merciful to you.)
29 Each man which is not tormented in this day, shall perish from his peoples, (Anyone who shall not torment himself on this day, shall be cut off from among his people,)
30 and I shall do away from his people that man that doeth anything of work in that day; (and I shall do away from his people anyone who doeth any work on that day;)
31 therefore ye shall not do anything of work in that day; it shall be a lawful thing everlasting to you in all your generations and dwellings; (and so ye shall not do any work on that day; this shall be an everlasting law for you for all your generations, in all your dwelling places;)
32 it is the sabbath of resting. Ye shall therein torment your souls from the ninth day of the month; from the eventide till to (the next) eventide ye shall hallow your sabbaths. (it is the sabbath day of rest, and on it ye shall torment your souls; yea, on the ninth day of the month, from the evening until the next evening, ye shall keep your sabbath holy, that is, keep this sacred day of rest.)
