Leviticus 21:16-24

16And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 17SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175, sayingH559, Whosoever he beH1961 of thy seedH2233 throughout their generationsH1755 that hath a blemishH3971, let him not approach to offer the breadH3899 of his GodH430. 18For whatsoever manH376 he be that hath a blemishH3971, he shall not approach: a blindH5787 manH376, or a lameH6455, or he that hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous, 19or a manH376 that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, 20or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eyeH5869, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 21no manH376 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, that hath a blemishH3971, shall come nigh to offer the offeringsH801 of Jehovah made by fireH801: he hath a blemishH3971; he shall not come nigh to offer the breadH3899 of his GodH430. 22He shall eatH398 the breadH3899 of his GodH430, both of the most holyH6944, and of the holyH6944: 23onlyH389 he shall not goH935 in unto the veil, nor comeH935 nigh unto the altarH4196, because he hath a blemishH3971; that he profaneH2490 not my sanctuariesH4720: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them. 24So MosesH4872 spake unto AaronH175, and to his sonsH1121, and unto all the children of IsraelH3478.
