Leviticus 22
It is interesting that a stranger lodging with the priests could not partake of the food from sacrificial offerings, nor could a daughter of a priest who was married to a stranger or who was divorced or widowed from a stranger but had a child by them. What is interesting is that if a priest purchased a stranger as a servant that servant could eat those things and if a priests daughter were widowed or divorced from a stranger without children she could again partake.
Of course their sacrificial offerings were to be unblemished but they were also required not to kill an animal mother and her child on the same day.
