12. Neither shall he go out of the holy places, lest he defile the sanctuary of the Lord, because the oil of the holy unction of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.
13. He shall take a virgin unto his wife:
14. But a widow or one that is divorced, or defiled, or a harlot, he shall not take, but a maid of his own people:
15. He shall not mingle the stock of his kindred with the common people of his nation: for I am the Lord who sanctify him.
16. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17. Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God.
18. Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind, if he be lame, if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose,
19. If his foot, or if his hand be broken,
20. If he be crookbacked, or blear eyed, or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture:
21. Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish, he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God.
22. He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves, that are offered in the sanctuary,
23. Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar, because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them.
