4 Any descendant of Aaron who is afflicted with skin disease or has a discharge cannot eat of the holy things until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body, or who has an emission of semen,
5 or who touches any swarming creature or another person who makes him unclean—whatever the uncleanness might be—
6 the person who touches these things will be unclean until evening. He must not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.
7 Once the sun has set and he has become clean again, he may eat of the holy things, for that is his food.
8 He must not eat an animal that has died naturally or that was killed by another animal, becoming unclean by doing so; I am the Lord.
9 The priests must keep my requirement so that they don’t become liable to punishment and die for having made it impure. I am the Lord, who makes them holy.
10 No layperson is allowed to eat the holy offerings. No foreign guest or hired laborer of a priest can eat it.
