Leviticus 22:1-16

1And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121, that they separate themselves from the holyH6944 thingsH6944 of the children of IsraelH3478, which they hallow unto me, and that they profaneH2490 not my holyH6944 nameH8034: I am Jehovah. 3SayH559 unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seedH2233 throughout your generationsH1755, that approacheth unto the holyH6944 thingsH6944, which the children of IsraelH3478 hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleannessH2932 upon him, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from before me: I am Jehovah. 4What manH376 soever of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eatH398 of the holyH6944 thingsH6944, until he be cleanH2891. And whoso toucheth anything that is uncleanH2931 by the dead, or a manH376 whose seedH2233 goeth from him; 5or whosoever toucheth any creeping thingH8318, whereby he may be madeH2930 uncleanH2930, or a manH376 of whom he may take uncleannessH2932, whatsoever uncleannessH2932 he hath; 6the soulH5315 that toucheth any such shall be uncleanH2930 until the even, and shall not eatH398 of the holyH6944 thingsH6944, unless he batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325. 7And when the sunH8121 is down, he shall be cleanH2891; and afterward he shall eatH398 of the holyH6944 thingsH6944, because it is his breadH3899. 8That which dieth of itself, or is tornH2966 of beasts, he shall not eatH398, to defileH2930 himself therewith: I am Jehovah. 9They shall therefore keepH8104 my chargeH4931, lest they bearH5375 sinH2399 for it, and dieH4191 therein, if they profaneH2490 it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

10There shall no stranger eatH398 of the holyH6944 thingH6944: a sojourner of the priest’sH3548, or a hired servant, shall not eatH398 of the holyH6944 thingH6944. 11But if a priestH3548 buyH7069 any soulH5315, the purchase of his moneyH3701, he shall eatH398 of it; and such as are born in his houseH1004, they shall eatH398 of his breadH3899. 12And if a priest’sH3548 daughterH1323 beH1961 married unto a stranger, she shall not eatH398 of the heave-offering of the holyH6944 thingsH6944. 13But if a priest’sH3548 daughterH1323 beH1961 a widowH490, or divorced, and have no child, and beH1961 returnedH7725 unto her father’sH1 houseH1004, as in her youthH5271, she shall eatH398 of her father’sH1 breadH3899: but there shall no stranger eatH398 thereof. 14And if a manH376 eatH398 of the holyH6944 thingH6944 unwittingly, then he shall putH5414 the fifthH2549 part thereof unto it, and shall giveH5414 unto the priestH3548 the holyH6944 thingH6944. 15And they shall not profaneH2490 the holyH6944 thingsH6944 of the children of IsraelH3478, which they offerH7311 unto Jehovah, 16and so cause them to bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 that bringeth guiltH5771, when they eatH398 their holyH6944 thingsH6944: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
