10No outsider may eat the holy thing; a sojourner of a priest or a hired worker may not eat the holy thing.

11But if a priest buys a person as his property with his money, he may eat of it, and those born in his house may eat of his food.

12But if a priest’s daughter becomes the wife of an outsider, she shall not eat from the contribution of the holy things.

13But if a priest’s daughter becomes a widow or divorced, and has no offspring, and returns to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat from her father’s food; but no outsider may eat of it.
