²¹ No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to the Lord. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

⁶ They shall be ^(A)holy to their God and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the ^(B)bread of their God; ^(C)therefore they shall be holy.

¹⁷ “Speak to Aaron, saying: ‘No man of your descendants in succeeding generations, who has any defect, may approach to offer the bread of his God.

⁸ Therefore you shall ^[a]consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for ^(A)I the Lord, who ^(B)sanctify you, am holy.
