Exegesis
The apodosis begins with ‘and shall be cut off,’ delivering the consequence of exclusion for ha-ish ha-hu me-ammav {הָאִ֥ישׁ הַה֖וּא מֵעַמָּֽיו | ha-ʾîš ha-hû mē-ʿam-māw} ‘his people.’ This structure tightly links ritual compliance to communal standing.
In context — Leviticus 17:9
If someone fails to carry it to the entrance of the tent of meeting for presentation before the LORD , that individual shall be cut off from the community .
