Leviticus 21:22

He may eat the most holy food of his God as well as the holy food,

Berean Standard Bible

In The King James Version

He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

In Context

21No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to present the offerings made by fire to the LORD. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.

23but because he has a defect, he must not go near the veil or approach the altar, so as not to desecrate My sanctuaries. For I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
