Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Leviticus 17:16

Then he shall bear his iniquity. — If he neglects these acts of purification, and enters the sanctuary in a defiled state, or partakes of the sacrificial meal, he is to incur the penalty of excision for the former act, and to be beaten with stripes for the latter, according to the interpretation given to this law in the time of Christ.
