priests » Special laws respecting » Restitution to be made to, by persons ignorantly eating of their holy things
If any people who are not members of a priestly family eat any of the sacred offerings without intending to, they must repay the priest its full value plus an additional twenty percent. The priests must not profane the sacred offerings by letting any unauthorized people eat them. This would bring guilt and punishment on such people. I am Jehovah and I make the offerings holy.'
