Leviticus 21:16–24

16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘No man of your 1offspring throughout their generations who has a defect shall approach to offer the afood of his God.

18 ‘aFor no one who has a defect shall approach: a blind man, or a lame man, or he who has a 1adisfigured face, or any deformed limb,

19 or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,

20 or a hunchback or a dwarf, or one who has a 1defect in his eye or eczema or scabs or acrushed testicles.

21 ‘No man among the 1descendants of Aaron the priest who has a defect is to come near to offer the Lord’s offerings by fire; since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer athe food of his God.

22 ‘He may eat athe food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy,

23 only he shall not go in to the veil or come near the altar because he has a defect, so that he will not profane My sanctuaries. For I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’ ”

24 So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel.
