Leviticus 21:16-24 - Physical Defects And Priests
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17 "Speak unto Aaron and say, 'No man of thy seed in their generations that hath any deformity upon him, shall preace for to offer the bread of his God: 18 For none that hath any blemish shall come near: whether he be blind, lame, snoutnosed, or that hath any monstrous member, 19 or broken footed, or broken handed, 20 or crook backed, or perleyed, or goggle eyed, or mangy or skald, or hath his stones broken. 21 No man that is deformed of the seed of Aaron the priest, shall come nigh to offer the sacrifices of the LORD. If he have a deformity, he shall not preace to offer the bread of his God. 22 Notwithstanding, he shall eat of the bread of his God: even as well of the most holy, as of the holy: 23 but shall not go in unto the veil nor come nigh the altar, because he is deformed, that he pollute not my sanctuary, for I am the LORD that sanctify them.'" 24 And Moses told it unto Aaron and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
