Leviticus 22:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Use of Holy Offerings

22 And the Lord said to Moses, ² “Tell Aaron and his sons to keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel, which they dedicate to me, so that they may not profane my holy name: I am the Lord. ³ Say to them, ‘If any one of all your descendants throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the people of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.
