Leviticus 21:21

21:21 No man from the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a physical flaw may step forward ¹  to present the Lord’s gifts; he has a physical flaw, so he must not step forward to present the food of his God.

Leviticus 22:4

22:4 No man ²  from the descendants of Aaron who is diseased or has a discharge ³  may eat the holy offerings until he becomes clean. The one ⁴  who touches anything made unclean by contact with a dead person, ⁵  or a man who has a seminal emission, ⁶ 

¹ tn Or “shall approach” (see HALOT 670 s.v. נגשׁ).

² tn Heb “Man man.” The reduplication is a way of saying “any man” (cf. Lev 15:2; 17:3, etc.), but with a negative command it means “No man” (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 147).

³ sn The diseases and discharges mentioned here are those described in Lev 13-15.

⁴ tn Heb “And the one.”

⁵ tn Heb “in all unclean of a person/soul”; for the Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) meaning “a [dead] person,” see the note on Lev 19:28.

⁶ tn Heb “or a man who goes out from him a lying of seed.”
