Leviticus 22:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ “ ‘Suppose someone eats a sacred offering by mistake. Then they must pay back the priest for the offering. They must also add a fifth of its value to it. ¹⁵ The priests must not allow the sacred offerings to become “unclean.” They are the offerings the Israelites bring to the Lord. ¹⁶ The priests must not allow the offerings to become “unclean” by letting the people eat them. If they do, they will bring guilt on the people. They will have to pay for what they have done. I am the Lord. I make them holy.’ ”
