2Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,
3Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.
4No man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or who has a flow from his body, may take of the holy food till he is clean. And any man touching anything which is unclean because of the dead, or any man whose seed goes from him;
5Or anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever;
6Any person touching any such unclean thing will be unclean till evening, and may not take of the holy food till his flesh has been bathed in water;
7And when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part in the holy food, because it is his bread.
8That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.
9So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.
10No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.
11But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.
12And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.
13But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.
14And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.
