12. nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, so as not to defile the sanctuary of his God, for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.
13. He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14. A widow, or a divorced woman, or a defiled woman, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry. But he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people,
15. so that he does not defile his offspring among his people, for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.
16. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17. Speak to Aaron, saying: None of your offspring in their generations who has any blemish may approach to offer the food of his God.
18. For whoever has a blemish, he shall not approach, whether a blind or lame man, or one who has a physical flaw on his face or a limb that is too long,
19. or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,
20. or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scabs, or is a eunuch.
21. No man who has a blemish from the offspring of Aaron the priest shall come near to offer the food offerings of the Lord made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
22. He shall eat the food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy.
23. Only he shall not go in through the veil or come to the altar, because he has a blemish, so that he does not defile My sanctuaries, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
24. Moses spoke this to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
