11. And he shall not enter to any dead body whatsoever; likewise, not even by his father or mother shall he be contaminated.
12. Neither shall he exit from the holy places, lest he pollute the Sanctuary of the Lord. For the oil of the holy anointing of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13. He shall take a virgin as his wife.
14. But a widow, or one who has been repudiated or defiled, or also a mistress, he shall not accept, but only a maiden from among his own people.
15. He shall not mingle the stock of his family with the common people of his nation. For I am the Lord, who sanctifies him.
16. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17. Say to Aaron: A man from your offspring, throughout their families, who has a blemish, shall not offer the bread to his God.
18. Neither shall he approach to minister to him: if he is blind, if he is lame, if he is small, or large, or has a crooked nose,
19. if his foot or hand is broken,
20. if he has a bulging back or bleary eyes, or if he has a white spot in his eye, or a chronic scab, or a skin disease on his body, or a hernia.
21. Anyone from the offspring of Aaron, the priest, who has a blemish, shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor the bread to his God.
22. Nevertheless, he shall eat from the loaves which are offered in the Sanctuary.
