Leviticus 22

⁶ the man who touches any of these will remain unclean until evening. He must not eat from the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.

⁷ When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.

⁸ He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.

⁹ The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

¹⁰ No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired hand eat it.
