I am the Lord who makes them holy.”

He must not make my Holy Place unfit. I am the Lord who makes these places holy.’ ”

Leviticus 21:21–23 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
21 If a descendant of the priest Aaron has a physical defect, he must never bring sacrifices by fire to the Lord. He has a defect. He must never bring food to offer to God. 22 He may eat the food of his God—what is holy and what is very holy. 23 However, he must never come up to the canopy or to the altar, since he has a physical defect. He must never dishonor the holy places because I, the Lord, set them apart as holy.”

He is not to desecrate My sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sets them apart.”

If he has any flaws, he must not come near to offer food to me. 22 He can eat the holy food. He can also eat my very holy food. 23 But because he has a flaw, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar. If he does, he will make my sacred tent “unclean.” I am the Lord. I make everything holy.’ ”
