Leviticus 21:16-23
16Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17“Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘None of your 1descendants throughout their generations who has an impairment shall approach to offer the 2food of his God.
183For no one who has an impairment shall approach: a man who is blind, or one who limps, or one who has a 4slit nose, or one with any conspicuous feature,
19or someone who has a broken foot or broken hand,
20or a contorted back, or one who is a dwarf, or has a spot in his eye, or a festering rash or scabs, or 5crushed testicles.
21No man among the 6descendants of Aaron the priest who has an impairment is to come forward to offer the Lord’s offerings by fire; since he has an impairment, he shall not come forward to offer 7the food of his God.
22He may eat 8the food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy,
23only he shall not come up to the veil or approach the altar, since he has an impairment, so that he does not profane My sanctuaries. For I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”
