New Testament

Leviticus 22:9-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.

10. “Laypeople must never eat any holy offering, even if they are visiting a priest or are working for him.

11. But if a priest buys a slave, the slave and anyone born in his household may eat the priest’s food.

12. However, if a priest’s daughter marries a layman, she must never eat the food taken from the holy contributions.

13. If a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced, doesn’t have any children, and comes back to live in her father’s home, she may eat her father’s food. But a layperson must never eat it.
