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 ) .

19 [The] Flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten, but it shall be burnt by fire (but it shall be burned in the fire); (then) he that is clean, shall eat it.

(A polluted soul, that is, any defiled person, who eateth the flesh of the peace offering that is offered to the Lord, shall be cut off from his people.)
21 And he that toucheth [the] uncleanness of man, either of beast, either of all thing that may defoul, and eateth of such fleshes, shall perish from his peoples. (And anyone who toucheth the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything that can defile someone, and eateth such flesh, shall be cut off from his people.)
22 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
