suffer them to bear the iniquity of the trespass, or, lade themselves with the iniquity of trespass in their eating, bear. Leviticus 7:18, Psalms 38:4, Isaiah 53:11, Isaiah 53:12, 1 Peter 2:24

for I: Leviticus 22:9, Leviticus 20:8

Reciprocal: Exodus 29:44 - sanctify also Leviticus 10:17 - to bear Leviticus 22:32 - hallow you

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).”
