“Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.”
Whoever eats it will be held responsible because they have desecrated what is holy to the Lord; they must be cut off from their people. The cut off penalty for eating the piggul — the disqualified third-day meat — places the improper use of sacred food in the same category as the major holiness violations of Leviticus 18. What is holy to the Lord carries the full weight of the covenant's sanctions: desecrating what is holy is a covenant-level offense.
