Leviticus 22:10-16

10“Laypeople must never eat any holy offering, even if they are visiting a priest or are working for him.

11But if a priest buys a slave, the slave and anyone born in his household may eat the priest’s food.

12However, if a priest’s daughter marries a layman, she must never eat the food taken from the holy contributions.

13If a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced, doesn’t have any children, and comes back to live in her father’s home, she may eat her father’s food. But a layperson must never eat it.

14“Those who eat a holy offering by mistake must give another holy offering to the priest and add one-fifth more to it.

15Priests must not dishonor the holy offerings that the Israelites contribute to the Lord.

16They must make those people pay the penalty for their guilt because they have eaten the priests’ holy offerings. I am the Lord, who sets them apart as holy.”
