 [5 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/5) Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
 
 [6 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/6) The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/7) And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it *is* his food.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/8) That which dieth of itself, or is torn *with beasts*, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I *am* the LORD.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/9) They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/10) There shall no stranger eat *of* the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat *of* the holy thing.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/11) But if the priest buy *any* soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/leviticus/22/12) If the priest’s daughter also be *married* unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.*
