Leviticus 22:4-14

⁴If any descendant of Aaron has a contagious skin disease or a discharge from his sexual organs, he is not allowed to eat any of the sacred offerings until he is cured. He will also be unfit for his work if he touches anything which has become unacceptable to me because it has touched a corpse, or if he touches anyone who as an emission of semen,

⁵or if he touches anything that crawls on the ground, or if he touches any person who causes him to be unfit for his work.

⁶Any priest who touches such things must bathe, and he must not touch anyone else until that evening.

⁷After the sun sets, he will be permitted to eat some of the sacred offerings that are for him to eat.

⁸He must not eat anything that is found dead or that has been killed by wild animals, because if he did that, he would be unfit to work for me. I, Yahweh am commanding those things.

⁹The priests must obey my commandments in order that they will not become guilty and die as a result of ◄despising/not obeying► them.

¹⁰Anyone who is not a member of a priest's family is not permitted to eat any of a sacred offering, and no one who is visiting the priest or whom the priest has hired is permitted to eat it.

¹¹But if a priest buys a slave, or if a slave is born in his house, that slave is permitted to eat such food.

¹²If a priest's daughter marries a man who is not a priest, she no longer is permitted to eat the sacred food.

¹³But if a priest's daughter who has no children becomes a widow or becomes divorced, if she returns to her father's house to live there like she did when she was young, she may eat the same food that her father eats. But no other person is permitted to eat any of it.

¹⁴If anyone who is not permitted to eat a sacred offering eats it without realizing that it is sacred, he must pay the priest for the offering, and pay him an extra one-fifth of its value.
