New Testament

Leviticus 22:4-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

4. “No descendant of Aaron who has a skin disease or a discharge may eat any of the holy offerings until he is clean. Any person who has an emission of semen or touches a dead body,

5. an unclean swarming creature or an unclean person

6. will be unclean until evening. He must not eat any of the holy offerings unless he has washed himself.

7. When the sun has set, he will be clean. Then he may eat the holy offerings because they are his food.

8. He must never eat the meat of an animal that dies naturally or is killed by wild animals. It will make him unclean. I am the Lord.

9. The priests must do what I order, or their sin will bring them death because they dishonored a holy offering. I am the Lord, who sets them apart as holy.
