Context
Regulations for the Eating of Priestly Stipends
22:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
22:2 “Tell Aaron and his sons that they must deal respectfully with the holy offerings of the Israelites , which they consecrate to me, so that they do not profane my holy name . I am the Lord .
22:3 Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations , if any man from all your descendants approaches the holy offerings which the Israelites consecrate to the Lord while he is impure , that person must be cut off from before me . I am the Lord .
22:4 No man from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean . The one who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person , or a man who has a seminal emission ,
22:5 or a man who touches a swarming thing by which he becomes unclean , or touches a person by which he becomes unclean , whatever that person’s impurity –
22:6 the person who touches any of these will be unclean until evening and must not eat from the holy offerings unless he has bathed his body in water .
22:7 When the sun goes down he will be clean , and afterward he may eat from the holy offerings, because they are his food .
22:8 He must not eat an animal that has died of natural causes or an animal torn by beasts and thus become unclean by it. I am the Lord .
22:9 They must keep my charge so that they do not incur sin on account of it and therefore die because they profane it. I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
22:10 “‘No lay person may eat anything holy . Neither a priest’s lodger nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy ,
22:11 but if a priest buys a person with his own money , that person may eat the holy offerings, and those born in the priest’s own house may eat his food .
22:12 If a priest’s daughter marries a lay person , she may not eat the holy contribution offerings ,
22:13 but if a priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced , and she has no children so that she returns to live in her father’s house as in her youth , she may eat from her father’s food , but no lay person may eat it.
22:14 “‘If a man eats a holy offering by mistake , he must add one fifth to it and give the holy offering to the priest .
