1. Leviticus 17:4 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What is the punishment for someone who disobeys this command?

Leviticus 17:4 (ESV)

4 and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a gift to the LORD in front of the tabernacle of the LORD, bloodguilt shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

The man who disobeys this law is guilty of shedding blood. This is the same vocabulary that is used to describe the murder of man in Genesis 9:6. The Lord sees this as a serious violation, so much so that the man is cut off from his people.
