183For noH3808H3605 oneH376 whoH834 has a defectH4140 shall approachH7126: a blindH5787 manH376, orH176 a lameH6455 manH6455, orH176 he who has a 45disfiguredH2763 face, orH176 any deformedH8311 limb,

19orH176 a manH376 whoH834 hasH1961 a brokenH7667 footH7272 orH176 brokenH7667 handH3027,

20orH176 a hunchbackH1384 orH176 a dwarfH1851, orH176 one who has a 6defectH8400 in his eyeH5869 orH176 eczemaH1618 orH176 scabsH3217 orH176 7crushedH4790 testiclesH810.

21NoH3808H3605 manH376 amongH4480 the 8descendantsH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 whoH834 has a defectH4140 is to comeH5066 nearH5066 to offerH7126 the Lord’sH3068 offeringsH801 by fireH801; since he has a defectH4140, he shall not comeH5066 nearH5066 to offerH7126 9the foodH3899 of his GodH430.

22He may eatH398 10the foodH3899 of his GodH430, both of the mostH6944 holyH6944 and of the holyH6944,

23onlyH389 he shall not goH935 in to the veilH6532 or comeH5066 nearH5066 the altarH4196 becauseH3588 he has a defectH4140, so that he will not profaneH2490 My sanctuariesH4720. For I am the LordH3068 who sanctifiesH6942 them.’”
