The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.

Verse 31 is found in chapter 44 of Ezekiel. Rules are established concerning appearance, marriage, teaching, discernment, and food. The priests must distinguish between holy and common and teach that distinction to the people. The restored priesthood therefore has both a liturgical and educational function.

Was aber ein Aas oder zerrissen ist, es sei von Vögeln oder Tieren, das sollen die Priester nicht essen.
Ninguna cosa mortecina, ni desgarrada, así de aves como de animales, comerán los sacerdotes.
Los sacerdotes no comerán ninguna ave ni animal que haya muerto por sí mismo o haya sido despedazado».
Les sacrificateurs ne mangeront d'aucun oiseau et d'aucun animal mort ou déchiré.
Non mangino i sacerdoti alcun carname di uccello, o di bestia morta da sè, o lacerata dalle fiere
Nenhuma coisa, que tenha morrido ou tenha sido despedaçada, de aves e de animais, comerão os sacerdotes.
無論是鳥是獸,凡自然死去的,或是被撕裂的,祭司都不可吃。」
