Contextual Overview
10 And no stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or a hired worker, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11 But if a priest buys any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it, and one who is born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. 12 And if a priest's daughter is married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things. 13 But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread: but no stranger shall eat thereof. 14 And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof to it, and shall give to the priest the holy thing. 15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh, 16 and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass,.... The punishment of sin: either the strangers,
when they eat their holy things; the holy things belonging to the priests, which they permitting them to do, suffer them to be liable to the punishment incurred thereby, or else the priests themselves; so the Septuagint version renders the word "themselves"; and in like manner Jarchi interprets it; and then the sense may be, according to the Targums of Jonathan and Onkelos, that the priests shall bear the punishment of their sins,
"when they shall eat the holy things in uncleanness,''
which is what is forbidden them in the former part of the chapter; but this seems to be too remote; rather the former sense is best:
for I the Lord do sanctify them; both the priests, to whom the holy things belong, and the holy things for their use, and the use of their families, and them only.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These verses are rather difficult. Their meaning appears to be: “The holy things of the children of Israel which are heaved before Yahweh” (see Leviticus 7:30) “shall not be profaned; and they shall incur a sin of trespass who eat of their holy things (so as to profane them).”
