¹⁶ The Lord said to Moses: ¹⁷ Say to Aaron: None of your descendants, throughout their generations, who has any blemish shall come forward to offer the food of his God. ¹⁸ Anyone who has any of the following blemishes may not come forward:^(A) he who is blind, or lame, or who has a split lip, or a limb too long, ¹⁹ or a broken leg or arm, ²⁰ or who is a hunchback or dwarf or has a growth in the eye, or who is afflicted with sores, scabs, or crushed testicles. ²¹ No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any such blemish may draw near to offer the oblations of the Lord; on account of his blemish he may not draw near to offer the food of his God. ²² He may, however, eat the food of his God: of the most sacred as well as sacred offerings.^{(B) 23} Only, he may not enter through the veil nor draw near to the altar on account of his blemish; he shall not profane my sacred precincts, for it is I, the Lord, who make them holy.
