Leviticus 22

This chapter covers laws about how priests are to deal with the portion of offerings that belonged to them as food, as well as some commands about certain types of sacrifices the Israelites made. What I liked here - and what I recall seeing on occasion in previous chapters - is that there was a clause for someone who accidentally ate the priests' food if he wasn't supposed to. God knows we are human, and far from perfect, and He set up His laws accordingly.

Also, it sticks in my memory that at some point David had his men eat from the food dedicated to priests (when he was on the run, I think). I can't pinpoint where I remember reading that, but when I get into those later books of the Bible I will have to keep that in mind and see if I can find it.
