Leviticus 22:1-16

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the Lord. 3Say to them, ‘1If any man among all your 2descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy gifts which the sons of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am the Lord. 43No man of the 4descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. 5And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if 6a man has a seminal emission, 5or 7if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness; 6a 8person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his 9body in water. 7But when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for 10it is his 11food. 8He shall not eat 12an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it; I am the Lord. 9They shall therefore keep 13My charge, so that 14they will not bear sin because of it and die thereby because they profane it; I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

10‘15No 16layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a sojourner with the priest or a hired man shall not eat of the holy gift. 1117But if a priest buys a 18slave as his property with his money, 19that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his 20food. 12If a priest’s daughter is married to a 21layman, she shall not eat of the 22offering of the gifts. 13But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced, and has no child and returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s 23food; 24but no 25layman shall eat of it. 1426But if a man eats a holy gift unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it and shall give the holy gift to the priest. 1527They shall not profane the holy gifts of the sons of Israel which they offer to the Lord, 16and so cause them 28to bear 29punishment for guilt by eating their holy gifts; for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”
