Passage Overview · Free · Leviticus 22:1–9
Priestly Impurity and Temporary Restriction from Holy Food
Where this fits in the story: Leviticus 11–15 defines carcass, bodily-flow, and other temporary impurity categories now applied to priests' access to holy food.
Where Scripture takes it next: 1 Corinthians 11's warnings about the Lord's Supper create a thematic reverence parallel but do not cite Leviticus 22 or transfer priestly household rules to Christian Communion.
Evidence boundary: Temporary impurity does not erase priestly identity.
