Leviticus 22:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “ ‘The priests must do what I require. But suppose they make fun of what I require. Then they will become guilty and die. I am the Lord. I make them holy.

¹⁰ “ ‘Only a member of a priest’s family can eat the sacred offering. The guest of a priest can’t eat it. A priest’s hired worker can’t eat it either. ¹¹ But suppose a priest buys a slave with money. Or suppose slaves are born in his house. Then they can eat the sacred food.
