Leviticus 22:8

Restrictions against the Unclean

7When the sun has set, he will become clean, and then he may eat from the sacred offerings, for they are his food.8He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, which would make him unclean. I am the LORD.9The priests must keep My charge, lest they bear the guilt and die because they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
