Leviticus 22:8 Context
6The soule which hath touched any such, shalbe vncleane vntill Euen, and shall not eate of the holy things, vnlesse he wash his flesh with water. 7And when the Sunne is downe, he shall be cleane, and shall afterward eate of the holy things, because it is his food. 8That which dieth of it selfe, or is torne with beasts, hee shall not eate to defile himselfe therewith: I am the Lord. 9They shall therefore keepe mine Ordinance, lest they beare sinne for it, and die therefore, if they prophane it: I the Lord doe sanctifie them. 10There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing; a soiourner of the Priests, or an hired seruant shall not eate of the holy thing.
