Leviticus 21:16-24
1599 Geneva Bible
16 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, and say, Whosoever of thy seed in their generations hath any blemishes, shall not prease to offer the bread of his God:
18 For whosoever hath any blemish, shall not come near: as a man blind or lame, or that hath [a]a flat nose, or that hath any [b]misshapen member,
19 Or, a man that hath a broken foot, or a broken hand,
20 Or, is crookbacked, or bleary-eyed, [c]or hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken.
21 None of the seed of Aaron the Priest that hath a blemish, shall come near to offer the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire, having a blemish: he shall not prease to offer the [d]bread of his God.
22 The bread of his God, even of the [e]most holy, and [f]of the holy shall he eat:
23 But he shall not go in unto the [g]veil, nor come near the altar, because he hath a blemish, lest he pollute my Sanctuaries: for I am the Lord that sanctify them.
24 Thus spake Moses unto Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
