Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Leviticus 22
⁴ No man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if a man has a seminal emission,
⁵ or if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness;
⁶ a person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his body in water.
⁷ But when the sun sets, he will be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for it is his food.
⁸ He shall not eat an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, becoming unclean by it; I am the Lord.
⁹ They shall therefore keep My charge, so that they will not bear sin because of it and die thereby because they profane it; I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
¹⁰ ’No layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a sojourner with the priest or a hired man shall not eat of the holy gift.
¹¹ But if a priest buys a slave as his property with his money, that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food.
¹² If a priest’s daughter is married to a layman, she shall not eat of the offering of the gifts.
¹³ But 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 food; but no layman shall eat of it.
¹⁴ But 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.
