Leviticus 22:4-9

LEVITICUS—NOTE ON Leviticus 22:4 For the background of these rules, see Leviticus 11:1; Leviticus 13:1; Leviticus 15:1; Leviticus 17:15. Contracting uncleanness is certain, but when purification has been made, one can eat the holy offering. If purification is not made and the offering is eaten, the offender gives up his life.
