Who May Eat the Holy Offerings?

Leviticus 22:10-16

"'No one who is not a cohen may eat anything holy, nor may a tenant or employee of a cohen eat anything holy.

But if a cohen acquires a slave, either through purchase or through his being born in his household, he may share his food.

If the daughter of a cohen is married to a man who is not a cohen, she is not to have a share of the food set aside from the holy things.

But if the daughter of a cohen is a widow or divorcee and has no child, and she is sent back to her father's house as when she was young, she may share in her father's food; but no one not a cohen is to share in it.

If a person eats holy food by mistake, he must add one-fifth to it and give the holy food to the cohen.

They are not to profane the holy things of the people of Isra'el that they have set apart for ADONAI

and thus cause them to bear guilt requiring a guilt offering, by eating their holy things; because I am ADONAI, who makes them holy.'"
