Leviticus 22 — Context

8

That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

9

So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

10

No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

11

But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.

12

And if the daughter of a priest is married to an outside person she may not take of the holy things which are lifted up as offerings.

13

But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.

14

And if a man takes the holy food in error, he will have to give the holy thing back to the priest, with the addition of a fifth part.
