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

12 If the priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy offerings.
13 But if the priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat her father’s food; but no outsider shall eat it.
14 ‘And if a man eats the aholy offering unintentionally, then he shall restore a holy offering to the priest, and add one-fifth to it.  
15 They shall not profane the holy offerings of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,

Leviticus 22:10-13

WHO OF THE PRIESTS' HOUSE MAY EAT OF THEM. (Leviticus 22:10-16)

There shall no stranger eat the holy thing—The portion of the sacrifices assigned for the support of the officiating priests was restricted to the exclusive use of his own family. A temporary guest or a hired servant was not at liberty to eat of them; but an exception was made in favor of a bought or homeborn slave, because such was a stated member of his household. On the same principle, his own daughter, who married a husband not a priest, could not eat of them. However, if a widow and childless, she was reinstated in the privileges of her father's house as before her marriage. But if she had become a mother, as her children had no right to the privileges of the priesthood, she was under a necessity of finding support for them elsewhere than under her father's roof.
