Context of Leviticus 22:14

12If a kohen’s daughter is married to a layman, she is not to eat from the gifts of the holy offerings. 13But if a kohen’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat from her father’s food. But no layman may eat any of it. “If anyone eats something holy unwittingly, then he is to add a fifth to it and give the holy offering to the kohen. 15They are not to profane the holy offerings of Bnei-Yisrael, which they lift up to Adonai, 16so causing them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat the holy offerings. For I am Adonai who sanctifies them.”
