Leviticus 22:7-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

12. A priest’s daughter who is married to an unauthorized person may not eat of the sacred contributions.
