In context
5 And he that toucheth a creeping thing, or any unclean thing, the touching of which is defiling:
6 Shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat those things that are sanctified. But when he hath washed his flesh with water,
7 And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.
8 That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.
9 Let them keep my precepts, that they may not fall into sin, and die in the sanctuary, when they shall have defiled it. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
10 No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.
11 But he whom the priest hath bought, and he that is his servant, born in his house, these shall eat of them.
