Leviticus 22:9

7 And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because ^ait is his food.

8 ^aWhatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.

9 ‘They shall therefore keep ^aMy ordinance, ^blest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the Lord sanctify them.

10 ^a‘No outsider shall eat the holy offering; one who¹ dwells with the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat the holy thing.

11 But if the priest ^abuys a person with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat his food.

12 If the priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy offerings.
