Leviticus 21:18-24 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

18. No man with any physical defect may make the offering: no one who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed;

19. no one with a crippled hand or foot;

20. no one who is a hunchback or a dwarf; no one with any eye or skin disease; and no eunuch.

21. No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any physical defect may present the food offering to me.

22. Such a man may eat the food offered to me, both the holy food offering and the very holy food offering,

23. but because he has a physical defect, he shall not come near the sacred curtain or approach the altar. He must not profane these holy things, because I am the Lord and I make them holy.”

24. This, then, is what Moses said to Aaron, the sons of Aaron, and to all the people of Israel.
