Leviticus 22:11-16 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. But if a priest buys a slave, the slave and anyone born in his household may eat the priest’s food.

12. However, if a priest’s daughter marries a layman, she must never eat the food taken from the holy contributions.

13. If a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced, doesn’t have any children, and comes back to live in her father’s home, she may eat her father’s food. But a layperson must never eat it.

14. “Those who eat a holy offering by mistake must give another holy offering to the priest and add one-fifth more to it.

15. Priests must not dishonor the holy offerings that the Israelites contribute to the Lord.

16. They must make those people pay the penalty for their guilt because they have eaten the priests’ holy offerings. I am the Lord, who sets them apart as holy.”
