Leviticus 21:17-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.

21. No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect is to come near to present the fire offerings to the Lord. He has a defect and is not to come near to present the food of his God.
