9. They shall keep my charge so that they will not bear the punishment in this matter and die for their profanation. I am the Lord who makes them holy.
10. Neither an unauthorized person nor a priest’s tenant or laborer may eat of any sacred offering.
11. But a slave whom a priest acquires by purchase or who is born in his house may eat of his food.
12. A priest’s daughter who is married to an unauthorized person may not eat of the sacred contributions.
13. But if a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and, having no children, returns to her father’s house, she may then eat of her father’s food as in her youth. No unauthorized person, however, may eat of it.
14. If such a one eats of a sacred offering through inadvertence, that person shall make restitution to the priest for the sacred offering, with an increment of one fifth of the amount.
15. The priests shall not allow the sacred offerings which the Israelites contribute to the Lord to be profaned
16. nor make them incur a penalty when they eat their sacred offerings. For I, the Lord, make them holy.
17. The Lord said to Moses:
18. Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites, and tell them: When anyone of the house of Israel, or any alien residing in Israel, who presents an offering, brings a burnt offering as a votive offering or as a voluntary offering to the Lord,
19. if it is to be acceptable for you, it must be an unblemished male of the herd, of the sheep or of the goats.
