Leviticus 21:16-24 - Physical Defects And Priests
16 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 17 'Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God, 18 for no man in whom is blemish doth draw near -- a man blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged, 19 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand, 20 or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye, or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled. 21 No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish is in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near. 22 Bread of his God -- of the most holy things, and of the holy things -- he doth eat; 23 only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar he doth not draw nigh; for blemish is in him; and he doth not pollute My sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah, sanctifying them.' 24 And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.
