“And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;”
The priests must not desecrate the sacred offerings the Israelites present to the Lord. The priests' responsibility for the integrity of the sacred offerings extends to preventing their desecration — not only avoiding personal desecration but actively protecting the sacred food from inappropriate access. The priests who are the custodians of the sacred food are responsible for maintaining its sanctity, not only for enjoying its provision.
