No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect may come near to present the food offerings to Yahweh; he has a defect, so he must not come near to present the food of his God.
In context
19or has a broken foot or a broken hand, 20or is a hunchback, or a dwarf, or has a defect in his eye, or a festering rash, or a skin disease, or damaged testicles. 21No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect may come near to present the food offerings to Yahweh; he has a defect, so he must not come near to present the food of his God. 22He may eat the food of his God, from the most holy offerings as well as the holy ones, 23but because he has a defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, so that he does not profane my sanctuary. I am Yahweh, who makes them holy.”
