183For noH3808H3605 oneH376 whoH834 has an impairmentH4140 shall approachH7126: a manH376 who is blindH5787, orH176 one who limpsH6455, orH176 one who has a 4slitH2763 noseH2763, orH176 one withH8311 any conspicuousH8311 featureH8311,

19orH176 someoneH376 whoH834 hasH1961 a brokenH7667 footH7272 orH176 brokenH7667 handH3027,

20orH176 a contortedH1384 backH1384, orH176 one who is a dwarfH1851, orH176 has a spotH8400 in his eyeH5869, orH176 a festeringH1618 rashH1618 orH176 scabsH3217, orH176 5crushedH4790 testiclesH810.

21NoH3808H3605 manH376 amongH4480 the 6descendantsH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 whoH834 has an impairmentH4140 is to comeH5066 forwardH5066 to offerH7126 the Lord’sH3068 offeringsH801 byH801 fireH801; since he has an impairmentH4140, he shall not comeH5066 forwardH5066 to offerH7126 7the foodH3899 of his GodH430.

22He may eatH398 8the foodH3899 of his GodH430, both of the mostH6944 holyH6944 and of the holyH6944,

23onlyH389 he shall not comeH935 up to the veilH6532 or approachH5066 the altarH4196, sinceH3588 he has an impairmentH4140, so that he does not profaneH2490 My sanctuariesH4720. For I am the LordH3068 who sanctifiesH6942 them.’”
