Exodus 29:33

And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

Cross-reference

Leviticus 10:13-18 extends this rule by specifying that priests must eat the sin offering in the holy place, reinforcing the same consecration procedure.

Leviticus 22:10-13 reinforces the same restriction: only priests and their households may eat holy offerings, clarifying who qualifies.

Numbers 18:4 reinforces that outsiders (strangers) must not approach holy things, mirroring the restriction on eating consecrated food.

Numbers 18:7 warns that any stranger who comes near the priesthood shall die—same principle that outsiders cannot partake in holy service or food.

Leviticus 6:17 states the grain offering is most holy and given to the priests—same category of holy food reserved for them.

Leviticus 24:9 specifies that the showbread is most holy and only for Aaron and his sons, directly parallel to the consecration meal restriction.
