"For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people." — Leviticus 23:29 (ASV)
For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day That is, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem explain it, which can fast and does not fast; for a sick person, and a child under nine years of age, were not obliged to fast on this day {p}:
he shall be cut off from among his people ; by an untimely death, by the hand of God; the Targum of Jonathan says, by the pestilence.
