Vayikra 21:17-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

17. Speak unto Aharon, saying, Whosoever he be of thy zera in their dorot that hath any defect, let him not approach to offer the lechem of Elohav.

18. For whatsoever ish he be that hath a mum, he shall not approach; an ish ivver, or a pise'ach (lame), or he who is disfigured or malformed,

19. Or an ish that has a crippled regel or a crippled yad,

20. Or hunchback, or a dwarf, or that hath a defect in his eye, or festering, or running sores, or damaged of testicle;

21. No ish that hath a mum of the zera Aharon HaKohen shall come near to offer the offerings of Hashem made by eish; he hath a mum; he shall not come near to offer the lechem Elohav.

22. He shall eat the lechem Elohav, both of the kodshei hakodashim, and of hakodashim.

23. Only he shall not go near unto the Parochet (curtain), nor come near unto the Mizbe'ach, because he hath a mum on him; that he profane not My Mikdash; for I Hashem do set them apart as kodesh.

24. And Moshe told it unto Aharon, and to his Banim, and unto all the Bnei Yisroel.
