4. None of you may take part in the sacred meals while you have a skin disease or an infected penis, or after you have been near a dead body or have had a flow of semen,
5. or if you have touched an unclean creature of any sort, including an unclean person.
8. I command you not to eat anything that is killed by a wild animal or dies a natural death. This would make you unclean.
9. Obey me, or you will die on duty for disgracing the place of worship. Remember—I am the Lord, the one who makes a priest holy.
10. Only you priests and your families may eat the food offerings; these are too sacred for any of your servants.
11. However, any slave that you own, including those born into your household, may eat this food.
12. If your daughter marries someone who isn't a priest, she can no longer have any of this food.
13. But if she returns to your home, either widowed or divorced, and has no children, she may join in the meal. Only members of a priestly family can eat this food,
14. and anyone else who accidentally does so, must pay for the food plus a fine of twenty per cent.
15. I warn you not to treat lightly the offerings that are brought by the people of Israel.
16. Don't let them become guilty of eating this sacred food. Remember—I am the Lord, the one who makes these offerings holy.
17. The Lord told Moses
18. to tell Aaron and his sons and everyone else the rules for offering sacrifices. He said:The animals that are to be completely burnt on the altar
21. When you offer a sacrifice to ask my blessing, there must be nothing wrong with the animal. This is true, whether the sacrifice is part of a promise or something you do voluntarily.
22. Don't offer an animal that is blind or injured or that has an infection or a skin disease.
