What is the prohibition of verse 10?

Lévitique 22:10 (NEG79)

10 Aucun étranger ne mangera des choses saintes; celui qui demeure chez un sacrificateur et le mercenaire ne mangeront point des choses saintes.

No lay person (zār) may eat of the holy things of God. The Hebrew term zār normally refers to a stranger, but it may also refer to a person who is not a part of a particular family (Exodus 29:33; Numbers 3:10). In the present context, the term refers to someone who is not a member of the priest’s family.
