Bible Verses About Priests: While unclean could not eat of the holy things

Tell them, 'Any descendant of yours through all your generations who approaches the holy things that the people of Isra'el consecrate to ADONAI and is unclean will be cut off from before me; I am ADONAI.

"'Any descendant of Aharon with tzara'at or a discharge is not to eat the holy things until he is clean. Anyone who has touched a person made unclean by a dead body, or who has had a seminal emission,

or who has touched a reptile or insect that can make him unclean, or a man who is unclean for any reason and who can transmit to him his uncleanness -

the person who touches any of these will be unclean until evening and is not to eat the holy things unless he bathes his body in water.

After sunset he will be clean; and afterwards, he may eat the holy things; because they are his food.
