What is prohibited in Leviticus 22:7-8?

Lévitique 22:7–8 (NEG79)

7 après le coucher du soleil, il sera pur, et il mangera ensuite des choses saintes, car c'est sa nourriture.

Both what dies of itself and what is torn by beasts have already been prohibited in Leviticus 17:15. In this instance the restriction is repeated for emphasis among the priesthood. They were allowed to eat the holy food, and so the restriction is more stringent in this command.
