Leviticus 22:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, that they be [a]separated from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they pollute not mine holy name in those things, which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations after you, that [b]toucheth the holy things which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, even that person shall be cut off from my sight, I am the Lord.
4 (A)Whosoever also of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue, he shall not eat of the holy things until he be clean: and who so toucheth any that is [c]unclean by reason of the dead, or a man whose issue of seed runneth from him,
