Leviticus 21:17-24
21:17 “Tell Aaron, ‘No man from your descendants throughout their generations
who has a physical flaw
is to approach to present the food of his God.
21:18 Certainly
no man who has a physical flaw is to approach: a blind man, or one who is lame, or one with a slit nose,
or a limb too long,
21:19 or a man who has had a broken leg or arm,
21:20 or a hunchback, or a dwarf,
or one with a spot in his eye,
or a festering eruption, or a feverish rash,
or a crushed testicle.
21:21 No man from the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a physical flaw may step forward
to present the
Lord’s gifts; he has a physical flaw, so he must not step forward to present the food of his God.
21:22 He may eat both the most holy and the holy food of his God,
21:23 but he must not go into the veil-canopy
or step forward to the altar because he has a physical flaw. Thus
he must not profane my holy places, for I am the
Lord who sanctifies them.’”
21:24 So Moses spoke these things to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites.
