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

“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.

“‘Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;

or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water.

When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
