All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, even such as were too young or too old to be actively engaged in the priestly functions. It shall be a statute forever in your generations concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire; every one that toucheth them shall be holy. Only those that were set apart for the service of the Lord were permitted to partake of them, and any layman that touched them henceforth had the duty to keep himself from all uncleanness, just like the priests themselves. All Christians are priests of the most holy God and will therefore guard against defilement of every kind.
