²“Tell^b Aaron and his sons^c that^d they must deal respectfully with the Israelites’^e votive offerings, and they must not profane my holy name, which they are consecrating to me; I am Yahweh.

³“Say to them, ‘Throughout your generations, any man from any of your offspring who comes near the votive offerings that the Israelites^f consecrate to Yahweh with^g his uncleanness on him, that person shall be cut off^h from before me;ⁱ I am Yahweh.

⁴“ ‘Anyone^j from Aaron’s offspring, if^k he is afflicted with a skin disease or a fluid discharge, shall not eat in the sanctuary until^l he is clean; and the one who touches any unclean person or a man from whom an emission of semen goes out, ⁵or a man who touches any swarmer that is unclean for him or who touches a person who is unclean for him due to^m whatever his uncleanness, ⁶a person who touches such a thingⁿ shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat from the votive offerings, except^o when he washes^p his body with water ⁷and the sun sets,^q and he shall be clean; then^r afterward he may eat from the votive offerings, because it is his food.
