16. The Lord spoke to Moses,
17. “Tell Aaron: If any of your descendants (now or in future generations) has a physical defect, he must never bring food to offer to God.
18. Indeed, no one who has a physical defect may ever come near ⌊the altar⌋. That means anyone who is blind or lame, who has a disfigured face, a deformity,
19. or a crippled hand or foot,
20. who is a hunchback or dwarf, who has defective sight, skin diseases, or crushed testicles.
21. If a descendant of the priest Aaron has a physical defect, he must never bring sacrifices by fire to the Lord. He has a defect. He must never bring food to offer to God.
