Leviticus 22:7-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

7. After the sun sets he is clean, and then he may eat the sacred offerings, which are his food.

8. He shall not eat the meat of any animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by wild animals; it will make him unclean. I am the Lord.

9. “All priests shall observe the regulations that I have given. Otherwise, they will be guilty and die, because they have disobeyed the sacred regulations. I am the Lord and I make them holy.

10. “Only a member of a priestly family may eat any of the sacred offerings; no one else may eat them — not even someone staying with a priest or hired by him.

11. But a priest's slaves, bought with his own money or born in his home, may eat the food the priest receives.
