21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a blemish shall come near to (A)offer the Lord's food offerings; since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God, both of (B)the most holy and of the (C)holy things, 23 but he shall not go through the veil or approach the altar, because he has a blemish, that he may not (D)profane my sanctuaries,[a] (E)for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.”
