Leviticus 22:2-8
Lexham English Bible
2 “Tell[a] Aaron and his sons[b] that[c] they must deal respectfully with the Israelites’[d] votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; I am Yahweh.
3 “Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, any man from any of your offspring who comes near the votive offerings that the Israelites[e] consecrate to Yahweh with[f] his uncleanness on him, that person shall be cut off[g] from before me;[h] I am Yahweh.
4 “‘Anyone[i] from Aaron’s offspring, if[j] he is afflicted with a skin disease or a fluid discharge, shall not eat in the sanctuary until[k] he is clean; and the one who touches any unclean person or a man from whom an emission of semen goes out, 5 or a man who touches any swarmer that is unclean for him or who touches a person who is unclean for him due to[l] whatever his uncleanness, 6 a person who touches such a thing[m] shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat from the votive offerings, except[n] when he washes[o] his body with water 7 and the sun sets,[p] and he shall be clean; then[q] afterward he may eat from the votive offerings, because it is his food. 8 He shall not eat a naturally dead body or[r] a mangled carcass, so that he becomes unclean[s] by it; I am Yahweh.
