¹⁶ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁷ “Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘None of your ^[a]descendants throughout their generations who has an impairment shall approach to offer the ^(A)food of his God. ^18 (B)For no one who has an impairment shall approach: a man who is blind, or one who limps, or one who has a ^(C)slit nose, or one with any conspicuous feature, ¹⁹ or someone who has a broken foot or broken hand, ²⁰ or a contorted back, or one who is a dwarf, or has a spot in his eye, or a festering rash or scabs, or ^(D)crushed testicles. ²¹ No man among the ^[b]descendants of Aaron the priest who has an impairment is to come forward to offer the Lord’s offerings by fire; since he has an impairment, he shall not come forward to offer ^(E)the food of his God. ²² He may eat ^(F)the food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy, ²³ only he shall not come up to the veil or approach the altar, since he has an impairment, so that he does 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.
