Leviticus 22:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ He will be clean only after the sun goes down. Then he may eat the holy offerings. The offerings are his food.

⁸ “‘A priest might find an animal that died by itself. Or he might find one that was killed by some other animal. He must not eat that dead animal. If he eats it, he will become unclean. I am the Lord.

⁹ “‘The priests must keep all the rules I have given. That way they will not become guilty. If they are careful, they will not die. I am the Lord. I have made them holy.
