Contextual Overview

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are holy, for I am holy, Jehovah your God. 3 Each man of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My sabbaths; I am Jehovah your God. 4 Do not turn to the idols; and you shall not make molten gods for yourselves; I am Jehovah your God. 5 And if you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah, you shall sacrifice it of your free will; 6 it shall be eaten in the day of your sacrificing it, and on the morrow, and that which is left on the third day shall be burned with fire. 7 And if it is at all eaten on the third day, it is unclean; it shall not be accepted. 8 And he who eats it, he shall bear his iniquity; for he has polluted the holy thing of Jehovah, and that person shall be cut off from his people. 9 And as you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap the corner of your field; and you shall not gather the gleaning of your harvest; 10 and you shall not glean your vineyard, and you shall not gather the leavings of your vineyard; you shall leave them to the poor and to the alien; I am Jehovah your God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore [everyone] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity,.... 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.
