Leviticus 22:9-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

9. Obey me, or you will die on duty for disgracing the place of worship. Remember—I am the Lord, the one who makes a priest holy.

10. Only you priests and your families may eat the food offerings; these are too sacred for any of your servants.

11. However, any slave that you own, including those born into your household, may eat this food.

12. If your daughter marries someone who isn't a priest, she can no longer have any of this food.

13. But if she returns to your home, either widowed or divorced, and has no children, she may join in the meal. Only members of a priestly family can eat this food,

14. and anyone else who accidentally does so, must pay for the food plus a fine of twenty per cent.

15. I warn you not to treat lightly the offerings that are brought by the people of Israel.
