Leviticus 7:21

"but the soul who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes the importance of spiritual purity in the community; eating sacrificial meat while unclean would sever the individual's spiritual connection to God and the community, highlighting the need for both physical and spiritual cleanliness in worship.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Unclean beast -that is, carrion of any kind. SeeLeviticus 11:0. Shall be cut off -See theExodus 31:14note.
