Leviticus 21:16-24
Restrictions against Those with Blemishes

16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

16:

17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever [he be] of thy seed in their generations that hath [any] blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

17:

18 For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

18:

19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

19:

20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

20:

21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

21:

22 He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most holy, and of the holy.

22:

23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

23:

24 And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.

24:
