Leviticus 22:9-16 New English Translation (NET)

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.

10. “‘No lay person may eat anything holy. Neither a priest’s lodger nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy,

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.

12. If a priest’s daughter marries a lay person, she may not eat the holy contribution offerings,

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.

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.

15. They must not profane the holy offerings which the Israelites contribute to the Lord,

16. and so cause them to incur a penalty for guilt when they eat their holy offerings, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”
