Leviticus 21:16-23

16And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,

17SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175, sayingH559, Whosoever he be of thy seedH2233 throughoutH1755 their generationsH1755 that hath a blemishH3971, letH1961 him notH3808 approachH7126 to offerH7126 the breadH3899 of his GodH430.

18For whatsoeverH3605 manH376 he be that hath a blemishH3971, he shall notH3808 approachH7126: a blindH5787 manH376, or a lameH6455, or he that hath a flat nose, or anyH3605 thingH3588 superfluous,

19or a manH376 that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

20or crookbackt, or a dwarfH1851, or that hath a blemish in his eyeH5869, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

21noH3808 manH376 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, that hath a blemishH3971, shall comeH7126 nigh to offerH7126 the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 madeH3605 by fireH801: he hath a blemishH3971; he shall notH3808 comeH7126 nigh to offerH7126 the breadH3899 of his GodH430.

22He shall eatH398 the breadH3899 of his GodH430, bothH4480 of the mostH6944 holyH6944, and of the holyH6944.

23OnlyH389 he shall notH3808 goH935 in unto the veilH6532, norH3808 comeH935 nigh unto the altarH4196, becauseH3588 he hath a blemishH3971; that he profaneH2490 notH3808 my sanctuariesH4720: for I am the LORDH3068 which sanctifyH6942 them.
