Leviticus 21:18-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

18. ‘For any man who has a defect is not to draw near: a man blind or one lame or disfigured or deformed,

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 among the offspring of Aharon the priest, who has a defect, is to come near to bring the offerings made by fire to יהוה – he has a defect, he does not come near to bring the bread of his Elohim.

22. ‘He does eat the bread of his Elohim, both the most set-apart and the set-apart,

23. only, he does not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profanes My set-apart places. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”

24. Thus Mosheh spoke to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl.
