Leviticus 22:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Anyone who touches those things will become unclean until evening. That person must not eat the holy offerings. But if he washes with water, he may eat the holy offerings. ⁷ He will be clean only after the sun goes down. Then he may eat the holy offerings. The offerings are his food.

⁸ “‘A priest might find an animal that died by itself. Or he might find one that was killed by some other animal. He must not eat that dead animal. If he eats it, he will become unclean. I am the Lord.
