New Testament

Leviticus 21:14-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. He is not to marry a widow, a divorced woman, or one defiled by prostitution. He is to marry a virgin from his own people,

15. so that he does not corrupt his bloodline among his people, for I am Yahweh who sets him apart.”

16. The Lord spoke to Moses:

17. “Tell Aaron: None of your descendants throughout your generations who has a physical defect is to come near to present the food of his God.

18. No man who has any defect is to come near: no man who is blind, lame, facially disfigured, or deformed;

19. no man who has a broken foot or hand,

20. or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has an eye defect, a festering rash, scabs, or a crushed testicle.
