Leviticus 21:14-21 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

14. He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.

15. He shall not profane his offspring amongst his people, for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.’”

16. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17. “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.

18. For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,

19. or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,

20. or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.

21. No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire. Since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
