Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 22:3

3 Say unto them, whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations that goeth unto the holy things , which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence : I am the LORD.

To eat them, or to touch them, for if the touch of one of the people having his uncleanness upon him defiled the thing he touched, much more was it so in the Priest.

Either, from the place of my presence and from my ordinances by excommunication: He shall be excluded both from the administration and from the participation of them. Or, from the people among whom I am present, which commonly is expressed by cutting off from his people. Or, from the land of the living.
