2 to say to Aaron and his sons:I am the Lord God, and I demand that you honour my holy name by showing proper respect for the offerings brought to me by the people of Israel.
3 If any of you are unclean when you accept an offering for me, I will no longer let you serve as a priest.
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.
6-7 Once you are unclean, you must take a bath, but you still cannot eat any of the sacred food until evening.
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.
