Leviticus 21:16-24 - Physical Defects And Priests
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 17 Speak to Aaron, saying, No man of your seed in their generations shall draw near to offer the bread of his God if there is a blemish in him. 18 For no man in whom there is a blemish shall draw near, a blind man, or a lame man, or disfigured, or deformed, 19 or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, 20 or crook-backed, or a crushed one, or who has a blemish in his eye, or a scurvy or scabbed person, or one with crushed testicles. 21 No man of the seed of Aaron, the priest, in whom there is a blemish shall come near to offer the fire offerings of Jehovah. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He shall eat the bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy. 23 Only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; so that he does not profane My sanctuaries. For I, Jehovah, do sanctify them. 24 And Moses told Aaron and his sons, and all the sons of Israel.
