Leviticus 22:7 Context
5Or whosoeuer toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made vncleane, or a man of whom hee may take vncleannesse, whatsoeuer vncleannesse he hath: 6The soule which hath touched any such, shalbe vncleane vntill Euen, and shall not eate of the holy things, vnlesse he wash his flesh with water. 7And when the Sunne is downe, he shall be cleane, and shall afterward eate of the holy things, because it is his food. 8That which dieth of it selfe, or is torne with beasts, hee shall not eate to defile himselfe therewith: I am the Lord. 9They shall therefore keepe mine Ordinance, lest they beare sinne for it, and die therefore, if they prophane it: I the Lord doe sanctifie them.

Wesley's Notes for Leviticus 22:7
22:7 His food - His portion, the means of his subsistence. This may be added, to signify why there was no greater nor longer a penalty put upon the priests than upon the people in the same case, because his necessity craved some mitigation: tho' otherwise the priests being more sacred persons, deserved a greater punishment.
