Leviticus 21:19-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,

20. or a hunchback or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye or eczema or scabs or crushed testicles.

21. No man among the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a defect is to come near to offer the Lord's offerings by fire; since he has a defect, he shall not come near to offer the food of his God.

22. He may eat the food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy,

23. only he shall not go in to the veil or come near the altar because he has a defect, so that he will not profane My sanctuaries. For I am the Lord who sanctifies them.'"

24. So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel.
