Leviticus 21:17-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

17. “Speak to Aharon, saying, ‘No man of your offspring throughout their generations, who has any defect, is to draw near to bring the bread of his Elohim.

18. ‘For any man who has a defect is not to draw near: a man blind or one lame or disfigured or deformed,

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

20. or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or is a eunuch.

21. ‘No man among the offspring of Aharon the priest, who has a defect, is to come near to bring the offerings made by fire to יהוה – he has a defect, he does not come near to bring the bread of his Elohim.

22. ‘He does eat the bread of his Elohim, both the most set-apart and the set-apart,

23. only, he does not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profanes My set-apart places. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”

24. Thus Mosheh spoke to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl.
