Leviticus 21:15-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.
