Leviticus 21:11-22 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

11. neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

12. neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.

13. And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14. A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, an harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife.

15. And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am the Lord which sanctify him.

16. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

17. Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

18. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

19. or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

20. or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

21. no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.

22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
