¹⁰ We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.

¹³ Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?

⁷ In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

⁸ And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.

⁵ Take the things from them, to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting; and give them to the Levites, to every man what is needed for his work.

⁷ Take away, then, the old leaven, so that you may be a new mass, even as you are without leaven. For Christ has been put to death as our Passover.

⁸ Let us then keep the feast, not with old leaven, and not with the leaven of evil thoughts and acts, but with the unleavened bread of true thoughts and right feelings.

¹⁷ Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

¹⁸ See Israel after the flesh: do not those who take as food the offerings of the altar take a part in the altar?

²⁰ What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.
