Leviticus 22:7-9

New Century Version

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

⁸ “‘If a priest finds an animal that died by itself or that was killed by some other animal, he must not eat it. If he does, he will become unclean. I am the Lord.

⁹ “‘If the priests keep all the rules I have given, they will not become guilty; if they are careful, they will not die. I am the Lord who has made them holy.
