⁸ “‘If a priest finds an animal that died by itself or that was killed by some other animal, he must not eat it. If he does, he will become unclean [^Cin a ritual sense]. I am the Lord [11:39–40; 17:15].

⁹ “‘If the priests ·keep [guard] all the rules I have given, they will not become guilty; ·if they are careful, they will not die [or…and die in it/the sanctuary because they defiled it]. I am the Lord who has made them holy. ¹⁰ ·Only people in a priest’s family [^LNo stranger/layperson] may eat the holy offering. A visitor staying with the priest or a hired worker must not eat it.
