And they shall teach my people
the difference between the holy and profane and teach them to discern between the clean and the unclean.
24
And in controversy they shall stand to judge;
and they shall judge it according to my rights; and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my
solemn assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25
And they shall come near no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27
And in the day that he goes into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin, said the Lord GOD.
28
And
this shall be unto them for an inheritance: I shall be their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I
am their possession.
29
They shall eat the present, and that
which was offered as sin, and that
which was offered as guilt they shall eat; and every dedicated thing
unto God in Israel shall be theirs.
30
And the first of all the firstfruits of all
things, and every offering of all, of every
sort of your offerings, shall be the priest’s; ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
