Thought - How many times in Leviticus "I am the Lord who sanctifies you." - Ex 31:13, Lev 20:8 and 22:32
If one of the priests/sons had an uncleanness - they were considered unclean until the sun set.
They couldn't eat an animal that died or was torn by beasts.
v 10 - No laymen or guest of the priest could eat of the gift. HOWEVER the slaves of the priest could (v 11)
v 7ff - offerings had to be without defect or blemish.
Leviticus 23
