Leviticus 22:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

11 But a slave[a] whom a priest acquires by purchase or who is born in his house may eat of his food. 12 [b]A priest’s daughter who is married to an unauthorized person may not eat of the sacred contributions. 13 But if a priest’s daughter is widowed or divorced and, having no children, returns to her father’s house, she may then eat of her father’s food as in her youth. No unauthorized person, however, may eat of it.
