Leviticus 22:2–7

²“Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they ^aseparate ¹themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they ^bdo not profane My holy name by what they ^cdedicate to Me: I am the Lord. ³Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the Lord, ^dwhile he has ²uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.

⁴‘Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a ^eleper or has ^fa discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings ^guntil he is clean. And ^hwhoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or ⁱa man who has had an emission of semen, ⁵or ^jwhoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or ^kany person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be—⁶the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he ^lwashes his body with water. ⁷And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because ^mit is his food.
