"Only a member of a priestly family may eat any of the sacred offerings; no one else may eat them - not even someone staying with a priest or hired by him.
11
But a priest's slaves, bought with his own money or born in his home, may eat the food the priest receives.
12
A priest's daughter who marries someone who is not a priest may not eat any of the sacred offerings.
13
But a widowed or divorced daughter who has no children and who has returned to live in her father's house as a dependent may eat the food her father receives as a priest. Only a member of a priestly family may eat any of it.
14
"If any people who are not members of a priestly family eat any of the sacred offerings without intending to, they must repay the priest its full value plus an additional 20 percent.
15
The priests shall not profane the sacred offerings
16
by letting any unauthorized people eat them; this would bring guilt and punishment on such people. I am the Lord and I make the offerings holy."
17
The Lord commanded Moses
18
to give Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel the following regulations. When any Israelite or any foreigner living in Israel presents a burnt offering, whether as fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering, the animal must not have any defects.
19
To be accepted, it must be a male without any defects.
20
If you offer any animal that has any defects, the Lord will not accept it.
