Charles Ellicott Commentary Leviticus 19:8

"but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from his people." — Leviticus 19:8 (ASV)

Therefore every one that eateth it. —See Leviticus 7:18-20.

That soul shall be cut off from among his people. —Better, That soul shall be cut off from his people, as the Authorised Version renders it in four out of the six instances (Leviticus 7:25; Leviticus 7:27) in which this phrase occurs in the Book of Leviticus. When so important a legal formula, threatening death by excision, is used in a limited number of cases, it is most important that it should be rendered uniformly in a translation. (See Note on Leviticus 22:3.)
