5 or if anyone touches any swarming creature whose uncleanness is contagious or any person whose uncleanness, of whatever kind it may be, is contagious—
6 the one who touches such as these shall be unclean until evening and may not eat of the sacred portions until he has first bathed his body in water.
7 Then, when the sun sets, he shall be clean. Only then may he eat of the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
8 He shall not make himself unclean by eating of any animal that has died of itself or has been killed by wild beasts. I am the Lord.
9 They shall keep my charge so that they will not bear the punishment in this matter and die for their profanation. I am the Lord who makes them holy.
10 Neither an unauthorized person nor a priest’s tenant or laborer may eat of any sacred offering.
11 But a slave whom a priest acquires by purchase or who is born in his house may eat of his food.
