Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
To eat the holy things unlawfully is to incur trespass, and those who do so are made to bear the iniquity and guilt of that trespass. Such eating is improper and unlawful use of what is holy, and the guilt rests upon the eater. The Lord sanctifies those who are set apart to Him.
The regulation belongs to the laws governing sacrifices and offerings and the consecration and duties of priests. Those laws are object lessons about sin and its consequences, given within the sacrificial system. The details of these laws find their meaning fulfilled in the sacrifice, life, and work of Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, to whom that sacrificial system points.
