The Lord said to Moses. The regulations for the priestly food — the holy portions of the offerings that the priests eat — address the conditions under which the priests may access the most sacred provisions of the covenant worship system. Where chapter 21 addressed the priest's personal holiness (mourning, marriage, physical condition), chapter 22 addresses the priest's ritual condition when approaching the holy food. The same holy God who requires clean animals on the altar requires clean priests at the holy table.
