Context of Leviticus 22:12
10There shall no stranger eatof the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 11But if the priest shall buy any person with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his food. If the priest’s daughter also shall be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 13But if the priest’s daughter shall be a widow, or divorced, and shall have no child, and have returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s food: but there shall no stranger eat of it. 14And if a man shall eat of the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall put to it the fifth part, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.
