14. A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman or a harlot—these he shall not marry; but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife.
15. Nor shall he profane his posterity among his people, for I the Lord sanctify him.’ ”
16. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17. “Speak to Aaron, saying: ‘No man of your descendants in succeeding generations, who has any defect, may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18. For any man who has a defect shall not approach: a man blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long,
19. a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,
20. or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch.
21. No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to the Lord. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22. He may eat the bread of his God, both the most holy and the holy;
23. only he shall not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profane My sanctuaries; for I the Lord sanctify them.’ ”
24. And Moses told it to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
