Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Say to all the people of Israel, ‘Be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. 3 Every one of you must have respect for his mother and his father. And keep My Days of Rest. I am the Lord your God. 4 Do not turn to false gods or make gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God. 5 ‘When you give the Lord a peace gift, give it so you will be pleasing Him. 6 It will be eaten the same day you give it, and the next day. But what is left until the third day will be burned with fire. 7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is a sin. It will not be received. 8 Every one who eats it will carry his guilt. For he has made the holy thing of the Lord sinful. That person will not be among God's people. 9 ‘When you pick the food of your land at gathering time, do not pick all the way to the corners of your field. And do not gather the food left on the ground there after you have picked. 10 Do not gather what is left among your vines, or gather the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for those in need and for the stranger. I am the Lord 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.
