4. What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
5. or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
6. the soul which toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
7. And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8. That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord.
9. They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am the Lord which sanctify them.
10. There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11. But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
12. And if a priest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13. But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14. And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.
15. And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;
16. and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the Lord which sanctify them.
17. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18. Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer unto the Lord for a burnt offering;
